Which group of items can be transferred to a qualified recycling program?

• A. Documented safe expended small arms ammunition cartridge cases
• B. Live ammunition rounds
• C. Explosive-filled projectiles
• D. Unlabeled scrap metal

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that only items proven safe and non-hazardous can be transferred to a qualified recycling program. Documented safe expended small arms ammunition cartridge cases have already been fired and assessed as safe for recycling through an approved program, with documentation confirming their status. This means they no longer pose an energetic hazard and can be processed under proper controls. Live ammunition rounds still contain active energetic material and must be disposed of through appropriate EOD or disposal channels. Explosive-filled projectiles are highly hazardous and require specialized handling. Unlabeled scrap metal cannot be verified as safe and may conceal energetic residues or other hazards, so it isn’t transferable to a qualified recycling program without proper assessment.
