Tyre centre, if you know someone working there.
Truck tyre centre is better again, as weights are much bigger.
My local place is going to keep them for me, after I explained about my nephew Lee and his hobby of making those little lead models of soldiers.

(Edit, most places seem to throw them in a bucket and when it's full, bring them to a metal recycling place)
