Dive summary:
- When hand-sorting through recyclables in Corpus Christi, Texas, waste workers found hundreds of rounds of live ammo.
- While the casings are metal and could, in theory, be recycled, live bullets are a safety concern as they could discharge if they became lodged in a piece of machinery.
- In the two years since the city began implementing its curbside-recycling program, waste workers have found used syringes, a chain saw and two dog carcasses.
From the article:
"... A truck made the pickup Thursday and the ammunition was found during sorting on Friday.
Bullets and shell casings can be recycled, but through the police department, not the solid waste department. ..."
