After doing some more research myself, the consensus view is to turn it into a police or fire station if you REALLY want to get rid of it.
It also seems that most people will fire 30 year old stuff, but some won't fire over 10 yrs old if they don't know how it was stored. The really old stuff is 50 yrs or more and the danger increases with size and with poor storage conditions.
Also, while modern cartridges use smokeless gun powder (made from nitrocellulose), the amounts are so small that there is no real danger of spontaneous combustion, but that the burn rates may be off, most probably on the slower side, but not always.
Since a cartridge would rupture, the cement should work fine (bullets don't "shoot" when not in a gun).
Anyway, back to research.
