The Serbian government asked people on Tuesday not to dispose of hand grenades and other munitions in the garbage, hoping to minimize accidents as it imposes tighter controls over privately held weapons.
Hundreds of thousands of unregistered arms, many stashed away after the wars in the former-Yugoslavia in the 1990s, are estimated to be at large in the country with a population of 7.3 million. That is in addition to over 1 million registered weapons.

Shouldn’t they be registered first?
Perhaps they should hold a “Grenade Buyback” program?

It does sound pretty irresponsible. In my neighborhood we have special pickup days for grenades, land mines, shaped-charge devices, and anything larger than 105mm. Tuesdays, I believe. And for Petessake, they need to be properly bagged.
To: fieldmarshaldj
I save them and hand them to children out at Halloween or put them in the kids stockings at Christmas.

Well, as long as they aren’t throwing those curlie-cue light bulbs in the garbage, I don’t see any detrimental long-term effects.

Grenades should always go in the recycle bin.

Since grenades are metal, do they go into the recycling instead of the garbage?

Always separate your trash into frag and de-frag.

Do you keep the pin?
