What would be a good cheap and or easy way to safely turn a small bin of lead oxide powder mixed with tin-lead into something that was safe?

 

and/or

 

what do they do with all the recycled lead from batteries and would this provide a clue to the above question?

 

and/or

 

can it be disposed of just like batteries or alongside a battery?

 

it is coming from a flow-solder re-work station that has been collecting up for a while now so there is a tin-lead alloy mixed in as I am not very careful to keep all the solder out when I skim this crap off the top.

 

I noticed some dude in here was trying to make fireworks with the stuff... maybe I can mail it to him... :-O

Well, if you can, melt it into a single blob so that bits of it can't fly away. In any case, take it to a recycling center, they should pay you for it but I don't know how much.
