    How do you guys dispose of your used blades.

    Cheers

    I use a baby food glass jar to store my disposed blades. Then just throw the container away. Or some people cut a hole in the back of there medicine cabinets and let there old blades drop in the wall.

    I have a large plastic screw top container that I am putting them in, when I fill it up which will take a couple years I will toss it and start a new one.

    I place them in a tin can and recycle the blades.

    Since I stopped using the Wal Mart Wilkinsons, I've run out of places to ditch used blades. This was a timely thread, thanks again B&B!

    Old soup can I painted.

    You can use piggy banks or cut a slot in your wall somewhere inconspicuous and leave them between the wall and studs.

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I think that I am going to do the tin can and recycle. I love the idea of a slot in the wall, and because it was mentioned twice I'm beginning to think you guys are serious lol

    I like the used can idea. I used a V8 juice can and cut a slot in the bottom, taped up the hole in the top, and now the bottom is the top. When it's full I'll hammer it shut on both ends and trash it. That should keep anyone from getting cut with old blades and cost me nothing.

    I have young children that are curious, so I got a small sharps bin at Shoppers Drugmart for free. I cut a slit in the lid. It is about 8" high and 3" across.

    The slot in the wall is real! It just isn't very nice for the next time somebody wants to do some renovation.

    I actually bought a blade bank as well and it was $1.00 from WCS. A small soup can very much like what has been mentioned above except a slot is cut on the side just below the rim will do nicely. When it's full, a quick whack with a hammer will seal it for proper disposal. I had heard about holes in medicine cabinets for such disposals and my gf has one in hers. I've actually got a pic of it on my profile.

    ...I have a Chock Full o' Nuts can that I cut a slot in the lid...I reckon when its full (in 20 years), I'll take the lid closed, and toss it in the recycle bin...

    Old vitamin bottle. It's got room for a few hundred I think. I'm not going to give this another thought for a few more years.

    Drop them down the slot in the medicine cabinet. I don't even hear a "clink" when they hit bottom so there's a good century to go before it gets even half full. And then there are 4 more bathrooms here that can take the "over flow" should this one fill up
