I found all of my weights (Metal/Rubber/Cast Iron etc) covered in rat feces and possibly urine while I had them stored in the garage. Can anyone please recommend the best way to clean these weights and make them useable or is it just a lost cause and get rid of them?
Please and thank you.

I'd probably hose them off or pressure wash if you can, then wipe them down with clorox wipes or other disinfectant. If you can't pressure wash then scrub brush will probably be needed too. Good old dishwashing soap will also work if you give them a good scrubbing.
Definitely clean them outside and N95 or better mask + gloves if dealing with rodent droppings indoors. Hantavirus is rare but a hell of a lot worse than covid.
