If you collect aluminum cans, drop 3 or 4 primers in each can, before crushing.
You're stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime. The brass is worth 5x the aluminum.

If the scrapper in your town won't take primers, just wait until you drive to a larger town. Either T town or the City, just take them with you and cash em in.

100 lbs of primers is currently worth $150-$200. Damn sure pay the gas.

Considering the number of spent primers I have, my beer drinking would have to pick up substantially.
I have about 3/4 of a 5 gallon bucket.
Used to just trash them until thinking they could be scrapped, and that’s not working out locally it appears.

Maybe melt them into a brick or brass.
Standard used to take mine but sounds like that has changed.
You could dump a few into each bad brass case and pinch the mouth shut.

I like to pinch the mouth shut on bad cases so no one thinks they are good and tries to use them.
