How do you dispose the rotary cutter blades?

The spent needles I save them in one of the 35mm plastic film canisters. I never thought about the metal recyclers, have one not far away. Like that idea, if I can't find a non-profit that can use the old blades the recyler is a good option. Chris

I store mine in a large medicine bottle...it is just the right size to drop the blade into. since it held really big pills, it will take a long time to fill it up. When that happened, I'll just drop it in the trash and start over with a new bottle. You might try buying an empty bottle at your pharmacy.

I use LP Sharp, also. Send them a dull 45mm Olfa and $3 and they send you a brand new one in exchange. Other 45mm blades are $2.20 so the information below is a little confused. I just sent them 26 (yes 26) 45mm and 1 60mm Olfa blades and a check for $83 (60mm are $5) and got brand new ones back. Best part is that there is a place to recycle your old blades without sending them to landfills.
To where? L P Sharp Co. - P.O. Box 85 - Gilman, MN 56333
How much? $ 2.20 ea they are actually exchanged or $ 33.00 for 10
Are they "as good as new" when you get them back?
They sure are.
