Soak them in a bucket of water. Then offer them up for free explaining why you soaked them. No takers toss them in the trash can.

Turn them into fishing sinkers.
Would water work?
I've had ammo that was submerged in a flooded basement that went "bang" after it dried out.
Oil?
Not really. You might get a number of misfires after a prolonged soak but it will not deactivate all (even most?) of the rounds. Bullets and primers are seated pretty tight.
A penetrating oil like Kroil might work after soaking for weeks but even then you can never be sure. Then what do you do with the ammo?
Give them to a reloader or spend $15 on a puller. Only safe bet
Maybe they will give you a gift card at a gun buy back?
Then when the cop that pockets them shoots them... "BOOM!" instant karma!
Depending on where you live, tossing them in a fire works just fine. There is nothing to support the case so the case bursts. Bullets don't fly anywhere. I wouldn't stand next to it but being 50 feet away is more than enough. Of course, living in a subdivision or city would make that less practical.
I am sure there will be someone willing to pick them up and use the components. I would offer them in the classifieds or the pay it forward thread with the disclaimer that they may be overcharged.
But then again there may be a danger to that in this litigious society.
I have an RCBS hammer around here somewhere, if you bring the stuff to the next Oaks show on Friday I'll take it.
Attend our PAFOA NFA Group Shoot on May 5th and burn your ammo through our H&K UMP-40 machine gun.
