Used Rotary blades
 
Does anyone, anywhere, want used rotary cutter blades? Or, does one just dispose of them.

I bought a gadget from Nancy's Notions that was made to sharpen rotary cutter blades but I haven't had much luck with them. I usually put my used blades in a plastic jar with bent pins or broken needles and seal the lid onto the jar with duct tape and then dispose of them.

My doctor lets me put them in his Sharps container when I go in for an appointment.

I thought about a sharpener, but I just tape them up in a cardboard sandwich and throw them away.

Or ask the druggist.

If you contact LP Sharp(online), they may take them without you making an purchase, I do know that you can chose to buy from them, either new, used or generic blades, at very reasonable prices and excellent prices.

I wrap in duct tape and put in trash.

I resharpen mine with the electric sharpener, then throw them away later when dull again.

I bought one of those sharpeners and never had any satisfaction.

My blades come in a little plastic case. I put masking tape on one side to mark the used ones and then put them back into the case. When the case is full of used blades, I put it in the trash.
