Default Disposing of spent rotors?

I'm starting to create quite a large collection of spent rotors. Is there any special way to dispose/recycle them? Or do most just toss them in the dumpster?

I have thrown them out in the past, however, if you have a decent amount (which I am also starting to aquire) I am sure if there is a metal recyling place around, I am sure they would be willing to take them off your hands. They may even give you a little money per pound.

you can probably take them into any dealership. most dealerships have guys who come around and collect metal. i don't think you'll get anything for them though.

any shop, especially a brake shop, will have a scrap metal container that all the old parts go into and get picked up.

The county recycling center near my house takes scrap metal and 4 tires per visit.

I just wish they took brake fluid.
Oil and antifreeze = a given.... but brake fluid is hard to get rid of.
