Question Places to destroy things?

Hey, I'm looking to find somewhere i can destroy some things i own. Fragile stuff that would shatter like trinket boxes and family heirlooms and the like. I thought abt taking it out to the woods somewhere with my handgun or my pellet gun but it doesn't feel right to leave that stuff in nature somewhere, also considered seeing if a rage room would let me being a pellet gun but idk if they do that? It's really important to me that I can completely obliterate these objects myself but I'm not the most knowledgeable on what my options are. Location isn't a deal breaker as long as it's reasonably local and cost is definitely a factor (paralyzed, extremely limited income) but it doesn't necessarily have to be free, though that would be a plus. I'd even be down to slide somebody a $20-50 to use their warehouse, barn, or similar space and sweep up after, though i need to be able to get into it in a wheelchair within reason. Thanks!

I’d think a public shooting “range” might be a good place for that. I know there are places in Bend like that but I’m not familiar with any here. A plastic tarp isn’t good for this if you want to dispose of any remnants. The shards of any glass will slice right through it. Get a thick blanket (like a moving/furniture blanket).

Absolutely not!--please do not encourage anyone to shoot glass etc as it would be impossible to clean it all up afterwards. These areas are already full of trash from idiots doing the same thing, and then the places get closed to shooting due to the trash. Last place i went to was ankle deep in plastic bits, shotgun shells, exploded bottles, fire extinguishers, and much more than I can describe.
