    You have to make sure your blades are really dull before you use your sharpeners.

    I have purchased the blade sharpener by Grace products, I love it! I have resharpened blades at least 10 times and they are still good. I had even had one with a nick in it and no problems. the sharpener was pricey, but well worth it to me.

    I put my bad, dull blades into an old Altoid box...it is marked SHARPS on tape. When it is full I wrap it up with packing tape so that the sharps still shows thru.

    In our area, we're able to get a 'sharps' container from the county health department (like they use for needles). When it is full we can take it to the health department and they recycle along with theirs.

    I've used this service numerous times & have always been happy with their service. I highly reccommend (that doesn't look right --- sorry --- it's late... LOL!) them!

    I send my blades to a man who sharpens scissors. He sharpens the blades which can be saved and are of good quality.

    I wrap mine in aluminum foil and put them in the recycle bin for aluminum/metal.
    Our trash pick-up also picks up recycle every other week.
    We have a special bin for it.
    I write SHARP BLADE on the outside of the foil.

    I try to use foil I have already used in cooking so its used twice.
