Default Properly disposing of OLD ammunition


Good morning, all.
This is a very informative forum. Good work.
My question-Due to the death of an elderly relative, I inherited four firearms, two of which he brought back from Germany after WW2-a Walther PPK (I think)and some type of bolt action rifle/shotgun?, a S&W .38 Special and a Remington.22 Model 121 Fieldmaster. I know that the first three guns haven't been fired for 60 some years. Not sure about the .22. Along with them I found 2 cartridges in the magazine of the Walther, three strange looking metal cartridges that I guess are for the bolt action, 6 for the .38 and 5 boxes of .22s. I can only speculate that the .22 cartridges were purchased in the early '70s as that was when he was last able to get out and about. How would you recommend I properly dispose of the ammo? I haven't handled it except for very gingerly moving the boxes that it is in.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.
