Several years ago I saw something mentioned on another forum about sending the used blades to a non-profit that worked with those with disablities, they were using the blades to cut leather so they didn't need to be as sharp as for fabric. Has anyone heard of doing this?
I saved one of the plastic covers that comes with Olfa blades and have put several blades in there. Would prefer giving them away than putting them in the trash and someone get hurt.
Any suggestions? Chris

I just wrap them in some paper and put in the trash. Don't know how someone could get hurt...they go into the landfill.

I keep an empty (washed) tuna can on the shelf for mine, then throw them away when it's full. Would be very interested if there's a useful alternative.

i use an old coffee can with a slit in the lid, all used blades and needles go in it. when it's full, I tape the lid on and dispose in the recycle bin.

Send them away to be resharpened.

To where?

How much?

Are they "as good as new" when you get them back?

I wrap mine in a piece of paper then wrap the paper heavily in packing tape. Then I throw it in the trash.

I save them til I cannot stand them anymore then throw them away wrapped in scrap fabric.
