I did the broth can thing and spray painted it white. It looks pretty cool and will probably last for years.
How do you dispose of your blades?

I put them in fruitcakes for Christmas just to see if anyone ever eats them! Alas, no one ever does.
I save em up and eat those for breakfast mixed in with corn flakes! My doc said I need more iron. Ha! I went one better. Platinum! It's a tad painful going to the bathroom...
Chicken broth can, painted and decorated by the kids.
Nothing to do with blade disposal, but there's a nurse.
I picked up a blade bank from WCS for $1. Think of it as a good excuse to order something
This is what I did, too, but what I want to know is if the blade bank full of blades is recyclable? Anyone know? or is everyone just chucking the bank in the bin?
I recycle my used blades.
Gee. I don't pay anything for the blade bank I posted about earlier. And it takes at least 50 blades to fill it.
I put mine in an empty jam jar with a slit cut in the lid. It will take years before it's full. Of course, it's not the most secure (you could just unscrew the lid). However, we don't have any children around the house (at least not yet). I like the broth can idea. Someone would have to be very determined to get a blade back out of that.
I have a trash can.

Your kids decorated that? That's really sweet!
Purchased a sharps shuttle from a medical store. Will hold a bunch of blades.
i cut a hole in the lid to an empty fiber bottle.it will take a long time to fill and you can super glue the lid shut
Yep, the other side says "Dad's Old Blades".
The only problem is, when it gets full, I won't be able to bring myself to chuck it....

I have the same question - not whether us folks recycle, but I wonder if the recycling company who gets the can in the end actually recycles a can with unknown (to them) stuff rattling around inside. Think I need to write my county recycling folks.
I have the broth can with a slit cut in the top. Spray painted black.
condensed milk can. drilled two holes in the bottom to drain it and then cut a slit in the top with a dremel rinsed and wiped down.
It looks like polished steel in the bathroom and will take ages to fill it. I've been using it since december and its still not nearly full.
