Depending on what the metal you're using is. If it's something mild, like iron, I would gander to say it's safe to just have in a bucket. But if it's something insane, like magnesium, flush that shittle down the toilet.

Whats an advantage for using powdered magnesium for flash photography instead of magnesium ribbon?
The powder burns much faster than the ribbon, providing a quick bright flash. The ribbon would burn more slowly, providing a longer lasting light but not as bright.See the Related Question for why a powdered substance will generally react faster.

What chemicals are important to fireworks and what do they do?
Black powder (gun powder) for explosion magnesuim for shimmer sparkle effect copper for green coloring iron for gold coloring potassium nitrate for smoke and alumunuim powder for flash
Where can i find ingredients for flash powder?
Fine Alumimum powder and potassium chlorate or perchlorate
Can flash powder self detonate?
It will depend on the oxidizer you are using. Nitrate-aluminum flash powders are pretty stable, but a ammonium perchlorate-aluminum flash powder is extremely shock sensitive. One scrap on the ground and it could ignite. By the way, flash powders (with the exception of ammonium nitrate and aluminum which is explosive) do not detonate; they just burn very fast.
Where do you buy flash powder?
you can't buy flash powder. it is used to make firecrackers and explosives, so it is not commercially available. You can make it from an oxidiser and a metallic fuel such as KClO4 and Aluminium.
Who invented flash powder?

Is gun powder a compound or mixture?
Many people confuse gunpowder and black powder. Both of them are mixtures, although gunpowder, also known as smokeless powder, was 100% nitrocellulose, a compound, when it was first used in the mid 1800's. Black powder is a very intimate mixture of potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal. Smokeless powders today get their energy when burned from 100% nitrocellulose to mostly nitroglycerine. Most smokeless powders obtain their energy from a mixture of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine. However, even smokeless powders made today with pure nitrocellulose are still a mixture because manufacturers add other compounds to the powder to reduce the muzzle flash, stabilize the burning rate, slow the decomposition of the powder and to neutralize any corrosive acids formed from the powder's decomposition.
