Safe to dispose of this bottle?

Found this Bengamin bottle while out hiking today. Looks like somebody shot it to see what would happen. Big dent where the aluminum is exposed.

Want to throw it away. Can't imagine there is still air in it but thought I'd get other opinions.

I'm bringing my own thread back from the dead.

I was hiking today and had to turn around about 1.5 miles in due to rain. I don't mind some rain but there was small hail mixed in and my dog was stressed. As I was driving home the weather cleared and I decided to take a forest service road that passes close to where this bottle has been sitting since I posted this thread and apparently since well before based on the condition.

Another ~2/3 mile of hiking was welcomed by both myself and my dog.

Removed the gauge and the foster fitting. Believe I have read previously that pressure vessels must have a hole drilled in them before going to the scrap yard so I did that as well. Not sure if my local yard will even take it.
