Rotary blades
#1
What do you all do with the old blades when there replaced with new? I am collecting them in a plastic container. I would like to dispose of them.... but where. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

I keep mine in one of those tin mint cans that kindof snap shut. I'm not sure where to dispose of either. I think when I've filled it, I'll wrap it up in a plastic bag, maybe put that inside a ziploc bag, and just put in the garbage. I've not heard of anyplace that recycles them.

You can take them to your local trash pickup company. Or at least you can here. You can also put them into sharps containers and also take them to your trash company. Some stores that have pharmacies will also recycle your sharps containers. But I would make sure that the entire blade is taped really well so no one gets cut with them even before putting them into a sharps container. But I am not positive, but I think its illegal to put them into your regular household garbage can, but I could be wrong. So I would just call your trash pickup company and see what they say.

Thanks.... I also keep them in the snap plastic things they come in. I'm on my third one. Some good ideas. I'll be giving the trash company a call. And to see if there's a knife sharpening company in my area.
