I put my used blades in one of the plastic cases they come in and then write "USED" on it. I then have put them in disposable bins for needles, etc. Thanks. d rickman, for that address.......I'll probably use it.....

I put them inside a tin can and toss in the recycle bin.

Our trash service has a container designed for needles and sharp things such as razors and syringe needles. All we had to do was ask for it. I put in all my old pins, needles, rotary blades, etc. When it is full, I just put it in the recycle bin for them to take away.

I started putting them in a tide container because at the time my dog had to have insulin shots so that is where I put her needles. Now I put them in a empty Lysol wipe container.

If you are near Escanaba, MI, Glenna has a blade exchange.

I'm lucky, I can recycle mine at work at the HWRC (not sure on the American translation sorry!). It just goes in the scrap metal skip which goes to paying my wages, it's all a circular cycle :)

It's $25.19.

After reading the reviews, I think it's very important to watch the video and use the sharpener exactly as demonstrated!

I use a black permanent marker and write OLD on it and put it back in the container it came in. That way I always know which blade is new and which one is old. When I use the last one, I throw away the container.

Replace them in the yellow plastic they come in - when it is full - sharps container at work.
