You always hear about gun sales in the US, but you never hear about what happens to the guns at the end of their lifecycle. I assume guns wear out eventually, and I assume you can’t just chuck them in the garbage when they do. What happens to them?

They likely either get pawned, repaired, or shredded/smashed.
Who shreds/smashes them? Is there a service for that?
pretty much any police department will accept firearms you want to get rid of them (and they’re legal.) Many will do a gun buy back program with “no questions asked”.
They then either destroy them or sell them off at an auction. Usually, they destroy them.
