Well to be more precise, I didn't toss the old cat on the scrap metal
pile, I put it on the long counter where the hazardous stuff (like brake
fluid, Freon, solvents, etc.) go.  I let the guys at the recycle/dump
figure out if it was hazardous or not.

Speaking of which...

Once when I was dropping off some old brake fluid, there were five old
cans of Freon-12 that someone had tossed as "hazardous".  I asked about
them, and the guy responded with "I didn't see you take those cans.
;-)".  So I walked away from the dump with five cans of Freon...   :-)
