Like
Tartan, I keep a rotary cutter with an old blade and marked as such. Works great for paper and such.
Used blades, pins, needles all go into a piggy bank that just happened to have the right slot size for the blades to go through. It'll be a long time before it will need emptying. Only wish I had put a date on as to when I started it, just for curiosity's sake!
How will you get them out of the piggy bank? Or, are you going to throw it out?
