For me, I plan to cast some into a couple 'bricks' for my kids as a remembrance of one of my favorite things. All from personally used pellets. I only capture a fraction of my shot lead but I'm getting close to 30lbs collected so I'm also getting close to getting a melting pot and figuring out how to cast a couple of bricks. Beyond that effort, I'll give it away to a local shooter that casts at home.
Recycling is a crap shoot these days but lead is something that can be re-used and is appreciated by those who would otherwise be melting wheel weights and the like. If my current project works out well, I may invest in another steel plate and do the same kind of thing for my main range at 75y, that would dramatically increase my ability to save the lead.

. Couple of uprights to support the plate and a little more to add to it. Like a couple of pieces of angle iron to protect the edges and maybe some flat steel to line the wood behind where the AR plates will be hung. Tomorrow is mine other than some grass cutting. Wife will be focused on getting her kids ready for back to school on Tuesday. It's getting heavy so good thing I have the tractor....
