Default Where to dispose of old brake rotors?

I've got them all over my garage and even in my garden. Where does one get rid of them?
What do you do with yours?

Metal recycle bin at work. Ok, I admit, probably not that helpful for you.

I'll call the trash contractor for my town to check also. If they don't allow them I'll take them to a big dumpster somewhere. They look awful rusting away in the garden from the sprinklers.

It's a big old chunk of cast iron. Surely somebody will take it for recycling.

However, I know a guy who turned his front yard into a sculpture garden of old motherboards and PC parts. So you could let your artistic side get loose....
