I use an old Parmesan cheese container. All my bad pins and needles fit in the "sprinkle" side of the lid, and my blades easily fit in the "pour" side of the lid.
|
I put mine into an old pill bottle and probably take to the local pharmacy to go in the sharps container. I'm not fond of the idea of just putting them into the trash, you never know who or what will come across it in a landfill. I don't think it's the lack of contamination, it's the fact they are still hazardous.
|
I take a prescription vitamin that comes in a very tall, wide prescription bottle. I store all of my used blades in there and use a smaller bottle for my needles. They can then be safely disposed of without cutting anyone since the caps lock down.
|
I use them in a separate rotary cutter marked "paper". They are too dull for fabric, but good for paper.
|
I use pill bottles also. One with a small punched in the top for pins and needles, and a larger one for blades. I haven't filled or disposed of either one yet, but like the idea of taking them to the pharmacy.
|
Same here, rather do that than trust them to the trash bin.
|
That's a great idea!
|
Thank you so much for the video link. I have had one and it hasn't worked well for me and I see that I didnt' quite do it correctly. Will now try again.
|
I use my old worn out blades in another rotary cutter just for cutting paper. Have it marked as such too so I get some extra mileage on the blades. Once they start to miss I put them in a blade container marked "throw out" Once its filled I toss it safely into my trash can.

I have a plastic blade container labeled used blades. It will hold about 12 blades. I haven't filled it up in over 5 years! My blades last a long time unless I nick them. I sharpen a sharp blade so it never gets dull. I use this sharpener after about ten cuts with the blade. Only takes few swipes to keep a sharp blade sharp.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nYqlLLtYOk
