I use the blade disposal system in my house... The walls.
We redid our downstairs bathroom, and I made a specific request to find a medicine cabinet that HAD a slot for used blades...
Let the next person who lives here in 75 years worry about it... lol
Do you mean they just fall down behind your Sheetrock?
Not quite true. When the recycling truck unloads at the recycling center, it is quite possible that humans sort the load into different types of material - plastics here, aluminum there, glass into another area, bi-metals into another.
Some kind of blade bank is the safest way to go, IMHO.

Recycle? Naw. Toss / discard it when filled? Yeah!!!

Hold head of razor by the blade tabs. Unscrew handle from the head. Lay head onto sink, or towel. Life base plate off. Grab blade by blade tabs once more, and remove.
Placing loose blades into the garbage is a world of bad. Your garbage man doesn't want sliced up hands either.
I place mine into a blade bank, which I have stored in my shaving cabinet. When full I will seal it, and pitch it into the garbage.

Instead of throwing them away you could use them to heat up the water for you scuttle.

Really though. Please do not do this.
Thanks for the info Blue58!Most medicine cabinets have 4 screws either in the sides or on the back wall of the cabinet that hold them in place.... unload your cabinet and take the shelves out.... take out the 4 screws and then check around the outside of the cabinet where it contacts the wall to see if it was caulked, if it was then use a SE blade to cut the caulking to separate the cabinet from the wall. Once you have done this you should be able to remove the cabinet from the wall.
Now that the cabinet is removed you can either replace it with one of the old style cabinets with the slot or put a slot in the one you have. Be sure to cut a slot that slants down so the blades will have room to go in.
While you have the cabinet out look into the wall to see if there is any insulation below the cabinet where the blades would fall. if there is then you will need to pull this out... Be sure to check if there are any electrical lines in the wall below the cabinet that might be cut by falling blades.... if there is this is very simple to remedy. get a few of the plastic report covers and drape them over the wires like a tent.
When all that is done simply reverse the cabinet removal procedure to install it and you are done.
i cut myself the other day pretty good to.
i had my tin can with the slit in the top for my old blades under the sink and instead of getting it out in the light i decided to be lazy and feel around while dropping the blade in..well needless to say i put my finger on the sides there to drop it in and it didnt go in a split second i decided to push a little..well the blade didnt move but my finger did..right across the very tip of the blade which is the sharpest point. it bit the heck out of me.
