I have mine in old blade containers marked old. I reuse them to trim quilts before sewing binding on. Makes a nice even cut. After they quit working for that, I will then toss the full container. Bent needles and pins go in old medicine bottle then tossed.

I put my used blades back into the package they come in, then when I have an abundance I take them to our local hardware store and give them to them. They recycle them for me. I don’t know how or what they do with them. I heard once they sharpen them & give them to a local group (vfw, Eagles, scouts? Not sure)

I put blades either into parmasean cheese containers when empty or they go into an empty liter bottle with a slit cut into the side--when it gets "full" I just tape over the slit. This is how to handle sharps at quilt retreats too.

Several months ago someone posted on Quilting Board that you could exchange old rotary blades for new ones at this web address: http://www.lpsharp.com/exchange.html
I always put a large X on my old blades and put them back in the container they came. I contacted them to see if they would accept with the X on them. Their answer was yes.
