Destroying it yourself

[Ronald Raygun]

Ah, the good old days! I remember making rockets with the stuff when I was at school. Teachers were not amused.

Is there anything one can do to remove the contaminants?

[damduck-egg]

Burn it?

Sodium Chlorate as a weed killer is banned in Europe now so if you have any you need to keep quiet about it , Making Rockets and Bombs from it goes against this. Kids today can hardly do anything dangerous,poor things.

They seem to manage OK for knives & handguns.

And alcopops and cigs.

Yes, I burn significant quantites too as our shredder's useless for more than a few sheets. I usually throw a few logs into the mix as they keep the heat up and stop the fire from going out before the paper's all finished burning. I've got a big fire pit that I dug out back, and the spring assembly from a old mattress that I rest on top which does a good job of stopping big bits of loose stuff from taking off while still alight.

I cant help but wonder if the huge rise of knife use is partly the result of banning everything kids used to find interesting, and that were lesser risks.
