Check with your local yards to see if they will accept them. Around here, they will not accept any of them AT ALL, no matter how many holes they have in them. Something about the residue left inside that is potentially flammable and/or dangerous, so I was told. There is usually a pile or bin next to shred pile that they get tossed in, so they are definitely removed from the process. I never asked how they dispose of them.
Can anyone else shed some light on this?
