Although removing old keys and tools may appear insignificant, proper disposal is vital to prevent harm to workers, protect privacy, and reduce ecological impact

Always confirm with the facility that they handle fragmented or misshapen keys

Old locking systems often contain circuitry, sensors, or batteries that classify them as electronic waste

Certain locksmiths will accept used hardware for responsible recycling or destruction

Never discard locksmith tools like picks, tension wrenches, or decoder devices in household trash—they pose serious security risks if recovered

The safest method is to permanently disable these tools before disposal

Use bolt cutters or an angle grinder to mutilate metal components until they’re unidentifiable

Crush plastic picks and tension tools until they can no longer function as intended

Once damaged beyond repair, these tools can be safely placed in your regular trash—or taken to a metal recycler if they contain metallic elements

Eliminate the risk of duplication by physically damaging spare keys before disposal

Use a heavy hammer to crush the key bow or shear the blade with industrial-grade wire cutters

Always refrain from tossing keys directly into the garbage without first neutralizing them

Improperly discarded keys can become tools for criminals targeting homes or businesses

A small effort in secure disposal protects you, your neighbors, and the broader public from preventable crime
