I have separate rotary cutters, one set for fabric only and another set for paper and whatever. Have them labeled as such. When the fabric blade is at its end for cutting fabric and they've been sharpened at least once, then I move them over to the "paper rotary" cutter till they no longer cut paper for me. I keep the containers that my blades come in and throw them into the container till its full then I toss them.

i'm stealing this idea, I'm about to get another jar so this is perfect and can go into the recycle bin when finished.
I use an empty, clean Parmesan Cheese shaker. I can drop the rotary blades (and razor blades in the wide opening, and old pins and needles in the opening with the holes. They last a LONG time. I've had this one for about 3 years, and it's not even close to being full!

We have a recycle/reuse store here in town and businesses drop off new items they don't want and won't use. I got this little container for $1.00 and love it. I put my blades, pins and needles inside. It's 6" tall so I've only emptied once so far. When I went in for a physical I took it with me and the nurse emptied it into their large container for me Sorry the picture is so larger, couldn't figure out how to shrink it!
