A few years back, I was tasked as executor with cleaning out my late grandfather's garage. He was an avid shooter and handloader all his life, but was also a wee bit of a hoarder. I found several thousand rounds of various cartridges, most of which were in suspect condition, with no documentation. The kind of stuff you'd have zero confidence in doing anything with (minus a few boxes of pristine .22 LR ammo).
After collecting all the rounds, I simply made a call to the local police department (non-emergency line), and asked if they would come pick them up for disposal if they had time. They sent an officer out a few hours later and he took them off my hands. Filled out a simple report for documentation. Easy peasy. And the look on the officer's face when he saw my hodge podge collection was pretty priceless.
If all you have is 8 or 10 rounds, I wouldn't do it this way. And if the circumstances had been different, I might not have wanted to involve the police. Guess I am just posting this to let people know it's an option. Local police departments usually have some sort of procedure in place for ammunition disposal, and I think my situation was a pretty good example of a time where it made sense to leverage their help.
