Thread: Disposing of used DE blades

You could always use them to strengthen the cement/concrete in your garden? We're always looking for stones and bits of metal to put in concrete when building walls or reinforcing garden fencing or paving.

As a lifetime modeler, I've always saved razor blades in a coffee can until full, then take them to the dump, and they accept them as hazardous waste, no charge. I think you are wise to consider others safety, thank you!

For a free sharps container you can use an empty bottle of laundry detergent.

You can make radios out of them:

Find a yokel (like me) who heats his home with onsite combustion techniques (a wood or coal-fired stove/furnace). A DE razorblade on hot coals won't last very long. (ill time it when i start using the heater again) And will barely be noticeable in the ashpan so long as they go in small numbers.

Most hardware stores sell empty unused paint cans for a very fair price. Fill them up and hammer on the lid. Take them to the scrap yard and they will pay you for them. Keep your can and re-use it

Scrap yards take sharp twisted metal all the time...occasionally with body fluids on them. The shredders don't care

I'm sure they will blend!

melt them down and turn them into a straight. must be the best stainless you can get.

dissolve them in an acid solution. wouldn't take much. then neutralize the acid.
