Blade Disposal

I just made a soup can blade bank. Cut a hole in the top, drain out the broth (in my case) then spray painted it.
Works great. I think I got the idea from another thread on here before, but I can't seem to find it now.

Most people use soup cans that I know of. I use a Glass mason jar with a slit in the lid.
I use a spaghetti sauce jar with a slit cut in the top
Thirdeye's tutorial , this is the soup can thread mentioned earlier.

+1 that's it, thanks.
Dumb question--and not to hijack the thread--but when the can is full, do you recycle it and the blades or does it get thrown out? Our local recycler takes cans but I'm not sure about blades.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I'm not positive but I'm sure if you tape the top very well it shouldn be a problem.
I put them in an empty beer can in my med cabinet. When it gets almost full , I will recycle to the whole thing.
I just use a small, resealable container and punch a slot on the top.
I use the small altoids tins, but I live in a snowbird nesting area so the local tribal casinos have biohazard boxes in the restroom. I just pop in and dump them in there.

No kids in this house, so the blades just get tossed into the recycling bin.
I just put them into the little slot in the back of the medicine cabinet in my bathroom.
I haven't filled a can yet, but I was thinking of recycling the whole thing???
And now for something completely different:
- Sell on eBay
- Display on fridge
- Forget in carry-on luggage
This is my owl blade bank. I got it for one dollar at the thrift store. It fits perfectly on the shelf in my medicine cabinet. When it is full I will throw the whole thing out and get a new bank.
