There were special units of the Navy and Army that would dispose of the bombs. Some were exploded in place, some were defused, some had the explosive material steamed out of them AND some went off killing the UXB people. But, if no one knew the bombs or shells did not explode they were left to be discovered years later by a construction company building a road or digging a sewer.
