How do you dispose of used blades?

[Sicilian]

I like to use a glass container so the recycling people can see what is inside. We have a very good recycling system here.

I use an old soup can with vintage ads glued on the outside.

When we renovate I plan on putting in the blade slot into the wall.

Cheap enough to just toss when full, small enough to stay out of the way, and not an eye sore in the Bathroom.

I just ordered one of these, should get today. I've been using an older prescription container.

I made this out of an aluminum beer bottle. Cut a slit in the cap, pasted blade wrappers all over it, and viola! Awesome blade bank.

An incorrect method!

I made a blade bank from an old Mentholatum jar. Slice an opening in the lid, & it's ready for use.

How about another method? I don't dispose of them. I keep used blades in their wrappers and use them for something else. I used a Sputnik worn out blade a few days ago for a precision cut. Worn out blades can still be useful for other purposes. No use in throwing them in the trash.

Thank you dear friend for the good idea. Many decades ago, blades used for their intended purpose (for shaving) were used for other purposes. The blade life was 100% used. I came out of that old time. I saw plants producing a lot of blades for technical purposes. But today we are sending high-quality stainless steel in the trash - noticeable blades that can find a million applications in everyday life and technology. I am not a member of the Green Party, but I believe in the dignity of people who protect resources. Thanks to everyone who responds, let's find many other useful uses for old blades.
I made a panel for cleaning the ceramic electric cooker. With the same success, I can clean the glass of the aquarium with this blade.

Please post your findings in this direction.
Sincerely.

You guys are sterilizing your blades before their "second" use? Hep or other blood born diseases are not a great way to make friends.

 

[JohnKavkaz]

My dear friend! I love this world, you in it, and all the rest. Hepatitis is just a toy in comparison with other diseases. I will write a lot of interesting things when I have some free time. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely.

When I put a new blade in the razor, I put the old one in the wrapper the new one came in.

Reusing old razor blades is a SAFETY HAZZARD!!! Use caution my friends...please.

Mine go in with the recycling. That steel can be used countless times over.

Cheap metal piggy bank. Needed a bladebank with a lock. Don't want my young boys to get to them. Disposing one blade a week it should take a while to fill. Probably get a new one and put the full bank in to the metal recycling bin.

I'm putting the sharps container up for a while and will be using the Tootsie roll bank for my used blades.
Eating the tootsie rolls was the best part of this changeover.

Glass Ravi and with a spot cut in the lid. When it's full, into the recycle it goes.

 

[Villalobos]

Mentos makes one as well.

I just emptied my feather blade bank and put the used blades in an empty glass jelly jar with a nice tight lid. de blades are not recyclable in my area

 

[Canadian Mountain Man]

made a custom bin out of some old hvac ducting that sits perfectly in the wall between the studs. That way if we ever decide to sell the house and someone tears up the bathroom they will find all the blades in a nice safe bin.

Both get emptied into a sharps container when full
