I don't know If I'm the first to suggest this, being new here, but I had the idea of getting one of those large coin tins that you can get from poundland shops etc......They would hold a lot of used blades safely. Just a thought, because You could put it into the recycling bank when its full.
Money tins for disposal of blades.

You could do that or use a beer can. Drain and enjoy the beer first then make your blade bank from the can.
Here is an interesting thread {one of many} on the subject; How To Make A Blade Bank For Under 50 Cents. - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/how-to-make-a-blade-bank-for-under-50-cents.54746/

Huh. I've been using an old Altoids tin.
I’m using a coin bank that is shaped like a barrel.

It is exactly what I use. Will take a long time to fill and does the job really well.
I have empty metal tin from Cavendish and Harvey candy 
I did the same, and it is working well! For fun, I decorate mine with blade wrappers.

I use any small container with a lid i can duck tape shut before throwing away. Last time i used an empty screw box.
What does a coin tin look like? Not familiar with poundland either. It sounds like a painful experience lol
I use an old supplement bottle with a flip-top lid. Where I live it's not permitted to recycle used sharps, so I'll dump the contents into a tin can, wrap it securely with duct tape and write "SHARPS" all over it in indelible marker, and toss it in the trash.
At some stage in the recycling process, the material may be subject to some hand sorting or clearing of jammed sorting equipment by people, which is why sharps are discouraged.

Years ago I went to the dollar store and found a metal coin bank for (duh) $1. They had nice pictures of cats or dogs as the choice at that time. Looks good and still isn't full.

Tins for saving loose change of various sizes and colours. Poundland is similar to a Dollar store.
A large used prescription bottle works well for me.
An old Ball jar. Cut a slot in the top with a Dremel
Several years ago someone brought Pirouline wafers/candies into work. I grabbed the empty tin out of the trash, took it home, superglued the top shut, then took an old knife and punched a slit in the top. Cost: $0.00. Time: ~5 minutes. It's not even a quarter full.
I just use any old jar with screw on metal lid. Then I just stab a hole through it with a utility knife, the widen the hole with a big flat screwdriver. If I ever get a can of something liquid, like broth, I'll probably start using it.

I survived a lathey foreman
This is what I use and has worked well for years and every once in a while I have to get in the jar to fish out some blades to experiment with like making shims or modifying Gem blades for other razors that had proprietary blades(testing spent blades before using a new blade when cutting with tin snips).
Every once in a while I take the spent ones out and duck tape them and discard them.
I use a magnetic business card to secure my razor blade that is in rotation with my other different razors.
Have some great shaves!

...but this one IS cracked.
For the last few years I have been using an old condensed milk tin, but recently it has been showing a few rust spots so this morning I decided to trade up. Picked up this for 2 euro.
