I'm keeping mine, just in case that they need to go back in when the time comes to trade in the car and the rotors and pads are too warped or worn.

I put it outside my shop and a scrap guy comes and takes it. He's happy b/c he's getting a few dollars for my scrap and I'm happy b/c I don't have to go bring it to the junkyard.

ditto- some intrepid recyler looking for cans will see them as score of the day!

pads go in the trash preferably in a ziplock bag to contain unknown materials
