Well, went to local recycler to get lead. They said they could only sell to none licences individuals, what they consider to be "pure lead", with an EPA fee. Came up to $ 5 a lb for dental shield foils. Most were in the bite piece still. However I could buy non specified lead alloy at $3 a lb.
Got A bright Idea and asked the dentist, he said local county laws only allowed him to pay county licensed recycler to remove it. That every tab had to be weighed and accounted for. Then he had to pay $1 a pound to have a licensed recycler remove them and sign his sheet.
Just wondering, anyone else running into this kind of crap while trying to get lead?
Seams like a local racket to me.
