How do you dispose of beer traps full of slugs?

  I would put them down the drain. Don't pour them on an area of earth as that will become a slug fest, potentially for many months.

  I tip them on the compost heap.

  Compost heap, if you have one.   Not a worm composter!

  The toilet would be less likely to cause a blockage than the drain. I would assume the foxes might have a go at them. Carbonnade de slug 😋

  In London. Keen but lazy.

  Of course beer and all. It's all good stuff.

  Compost heap, its all organic material.

  I wouldn't put beer into my (small) compost bins as the resulting compost might then smell of beer and attract every slug in a ten mile radius. Big, hot bins or piles might process beer better.

  Pick out the slugs.  Ensure they are dead.  Put on compost heap. Mix the beer with warm water and pour down sink/drain   Alternatively, invite an annoying person round for drinks and offer them a Special Brew beer.
