I have always had free lead.
Now the hunt gets harder.
The Board of Directors has recently revised the club's policy regarding the removal of spent lead and brass (casings) from our ranges. Please take note.
Removal of spent lead from any of our ranges by individual members is now prohibited. This applies to lead removed from the bullet trap on the Indoor Pistol Range and any lead that might be sifted from berms or other areas on the outdoor ranges. The club has contracted with a licensed metals recycler to remove lead from the property, for which the club receives payment.
The reason for this change is to limit the club's liability for any potential mishandling of lead originating on our ranges. Once removed from the property, lead and any associated waste products are subject to regulation as hazardous materials by the EPA, depending on the exact nature of the ultimate disposition. For that reason, and because the club cannot control the material once it leaves our property, the BoD has chosen to allow only the contracted metals recycler to remove any lead from club property.
We undestand that this may come as a dissapointment to those few members who cast their own bullets and have enjoyed the ability to reclaim lead for personal use in the past. We need to weigh that benefit against the potentially large liability incurred as a result.
As a reminder, the policy for spent brass (casings) is that members may remove casings for their personal use in reloading activities, from the ground or from collection buckets. Removal of brass, other than that shot by the individual member, for any other purpose than reloading, including recycling for payment, remains prohibited.
