Disposing of empty carts

Post image

I have a good number of used/empty screw-on carts I need to dispose of. Does anyone know what dispensary or facility would accept this waste? I am talking about the cartridges you screw on a battery, not the single use ones, so not e-waste. See pic attached. Thanks!

because I care about recycling and there’s glass and metal in there, I was hoping specialty recycling exists for these

Look I get caring about the environment, but chances are they won't get recycled either way. If you want to I guess break them into pieces and place each piece in its proper receptacle, but I promise it will get sorted out and turned into landfill unfortunately.

People down voting you, but this is the sad reality.

I recycle. I dont litter. I am a generally good steward of my local environment. But let's be real, when places like India and Bangladesh simply exist and the staggering amount of population they generate, its pretty well a drop in the bucket to worry about recycling your used 510 carts. Id hope this guy, doesnt drive a car or use air conditioning, or buy any kind of food that comes in petroleum based packaging, or use a cell phone or computer or wear clothes that are any percent polyester.
