Anyone from La Crosse County with unwanted ammunition can dispose of it properly on Saturday.
Go figure, I've been collecting ammo for years.

I wonder what collective of idiots thought up this program?

Do they want the whole thing, or just the pointy bit up front?

"Disposing of the first five pounds of ammuntion is free and $5 per pound after that. "

Next they'll have a "Gold Recycling Drive."
First 5 pounds disposed of free.....then $5 per pound.

Will they take it from my teeth?
Yes, I have some rusty pliers.
Hah ! They want people to PAY to give away their ammo.. during a massive shortage no less ?
The only people who show up to this will be all of the people showing up to document absolutely no one showing up.

So.......................
50 rounds of 9mm weighs ~ 1 pound (according to my antique kitchen scale and rounding down a bit).
If I were to turn in 300 rounds of 9mm the first 250 (5 pounds) would be free but that last 50 (1 extra pound) would cost me $5.
Now, if I'm following this right.................. I would be paying the county $5 to give them 300 rounds of factory 9mm ammo that on today's market I could, instead, sell for about 50 cents a round or $150 for the whole 300.
And I am to believe that the county employees who are probably all hunters and gun owners are then going to send $150 worth of perfectly good 9mm ammo to the incinerator and not a single box is gonna get misplaced in the process.
Okay, got it.

This scenario was my first reaction also...2 or 3 guys who just discovered the scarcity of ammo coming up with a "cunning" plan to get some.
"Unwanted" ammunition??!! Another oxymoron.

I wonder if this could be like the no questions asked gun buybacks. If they were paying I'd totally bring in snap caps to make a few bucks.

Sounds like the locals are a bit short on ammo and thought this might be a way out.
This doesn't surprise me at all. Why? Because LaCrosse county is home to...(drum roll please)...Madison, WI. Madison is a very liberal college town in Wisconsin. They cloned Berkley, CA, and dropped it in WI, and called it Madison, and that's what you have today.
I would not be surprised if a bunch of dumb ass college liberals raided their dad's ammo supplies just so they could turn in some ammo to take a picture of themselves doing that, so they could show it to their friends and post the pics on Fakebook.
