anyone know if tire places just throw them away or what they do with them? looking some(lots) of lead and trying to figure out the deal and if that is an easy way to get some.

how much are you trying to get? lead fishing weights are pretty cheap.

They're collected for recycling with the car batteries... couldn't hurt to just ask someone at a tire shop.

enough to fill up a can..like a green bean can or something

trying to make a dumbbell on the cheap

I guess I can go ask around somewhere.

most all tire places have some one who comes around and collects the buckets full of weights

go to discount tire and ask if you cant buy a box of old ones though.

you can usually find some on craigslist. i have a 5 gallon bucket full that i use to make fishing tackle.

Lead is poisonous, don't be retarded. Suck it up and buy a dumbell from one of the used sports equipment places.

melting lead in a well-ventilated area is not dangerous

at the shops that i visited, they sold them to a recycler or someone would pay them the going rate for it.
