I have them from when I used to borrow my brothers old browning sweet 16. He doesn’t want them. I have no use for them as I don’t have a 16 gauge and don’t plan on buying one. How to properly get ride of these. It’s 40 shells total

Drop them at a pawn shop. They’ll go with the next 16 gauge shotgun sell.

Where do you live? Someone might be interested in picking them up from you.

Where are you? I have 3 16s so can always use the shells.

Gun range - we used to have people drop off ammo all the time when I worked there.

You walk into any gun range and utter these words

I’d probably buy a 16 gauge and shoot some stuff.

Don’t let Alx hear you say that. I had a few boxes of old 16 gauge shells I gave him.

We have done this. Just be sure and cut out the BB's first.
