Two pairs of pliers to pull the bullet out of the case, dump the powder in the grass, two or three drops of oil into the bottom of the case to kill the primer, toss in the garbage.

When I was a kid we just pried the lead off with our back teeth, poured a bit out with a trail, lit er up and bang. Much more fine this way.
