Put it back into the solder pots? Err, sorry, no more lead soldering ... Ship it to China? Bury it in the ground and let the next generation deal with it? Just burn more power to do leadfree soldering, that's the way to saving the enviroment!

And on that note, if we recycle (reclaim) all the lead that we use and then we can no longer use it because of RoHS what will we do with all the lead we've reclaimed?
