A method and facility for safely destroying PFM-type landmines or other chemical and bacteriological ordnance is disclosed. The facility comprises of a totally contained system with the hazards of detonation being confined in a virtually sealed environment. PFM mines or other ordnance are electrically detted up and transported into a detonation chamber in which the mines are submerged in coarse silica sand premixed with decontamination chemicals prior to detonation. Once detonation is completed, toxic gases are being filtered and discharged into the atmosphere by pumping suction. A sand holding chamber interconnects to the detonation chamber and collects the post-detonation sand admixed with detonation debris. Detonation debris are subsequently separated from the silica sand which are available to be reused for the next detonation. The destruction method does not produce any undesirable toxic gases and the detonation materials collected from the mine destructions can be used as soil conditioner on calcium-deficient soils.
