I went to Sally's Beauty supply and purchased a plastic container that is slightly larger that the blades. It has a plastic inner lid that snaps on, then a screw on lid. When it gets full, I put super glue on the inner lid and put into the recycle bin with a message that the blades are shape. I contacted our recycle service first, and was told that was the perfect way to dispose of the blades. They send sharp items off to a special recycle place.
