I would think you could just treat it like a shock or strut. Drill a hole in it to get the oil out of it and take it to any metal recycling center. They give you money for it, but if that is all you're giving them you will not get much at all. If you have any other metal, just turn it in with that.

I heard that maybe you can send them to a distributor and they will re use them,
