    Local ground mows the grass which will turn them to tiny bits. If im shooting in my own place il run the chain or tine harrow over it

    Edit. It wont make them dissappear just make them smaller and less noticable

    All club members spend about 2 hrs afterwards with buckets picking them up by hand. Its effective, but a right pain in the ........
    It helps if you strategically position the traps so the clays end up in corners of the field.
    A farmer generously donates one of his fields to the events so we have no option other than cleaning up afterwards.

    If your trap(s) is in a limited number of positions clays should land in a relatively small area. Some form of a sheet on the ground is your friend. If you have a few bodies you can easily lift it and drop the broken clays in a trailer or wheelbarrow for disposal.

    Position the traps in such a way that the unbroken clays will land in much the same place.
