Did I dream it or have I really seen a key recycling container
somewhere...?

The metal recycling skip at your local tip? For steel ones, certainly.

Well, there's this round building with an 'ole in the middle somewhere
near a racecourse and whose nearest city centre is full of faded-glory
Regency architecture which is always happy to receive old keys,
specially if they've been used to protect anything interesting ;-)

Reminds me of Blue Peter, one year they appealed for old keys (they are
mainly brass, or were then). Worked a treat, problem was the kids were
filching all their parents keys, caused some mayhem! :-)

Old keys are highly sort after by joiners,antique restorers and of
course locksmiths. We accumulate old locks and other fittings but the
keys are always missing. Boxes of old keys at auctions often get good
money. Don't throw them away!

Did it have instructions to attach an address label to each key so they
can write to "thank" you?

Nah, I have this vague memory of somewhere like a keycutters having a
box in...

I do have some oldish ones and I'm loath to just bin them...
