Hartland, BC Police Are Trying To Determine Who Threw A Rocket Launcher In A Dumpster

The Capital Regional District has an online tool (myrecyclopedia.ca) that provides information on how to recycle unconventional items – but it has its limitations. If you want to dispose of a rocket launcher, for example, your search comes up empty.

So Saanich police are telling the public that throwing a rocket launcher in a recycling bin at the landfill is not the way to get rid of military weaponry, after somebody did just that last week. On Wednesday (Sept. 4) Hartland staff discovered the weapon in a bin at the dump.

“Their concern was that it may be usable,” said Sgt. Steve Eassie. “At this point it is inert, it is no longer housing what was once a rocket inside the missile launcher.”

1. 'Police say the one-time use weapon was just a “wartime souvenir” and was not operational.' n/t

2. C'mon, everyone know the way to properly dispose of that stuff is to sell it to the local teenagers.

3. Reminds me of a scene from Reno 911...

Where they had a "guns for toys" program and one of the officers drives off with the guns on the back of the police car and they spill all over the highway. So Dangle and Junior go retrieve the spilled weapons and he picks up a rocket launcher, and he says to Junior "Holy crap, I hope you get the whole Malibu Dream House for this!"
