How do you dispose of used blades

I used the bottom of the blade packet.

Tin money box that doesn't open. should last a few years and only cost £1

I have the good fortune to be diabetic, and as such, I get a 'sharps box' for my old syringes. It's also good for disposing razor blades!

I have the square version. It'll hold about 50 years' worth of blades.

Mines actually an 11.5 liter tub version - I reckon it would hold the whole forums wasted blades for the next century! LOL

I save mine for Halloween and poke them into apples.

The same here, mine is twice bigger.
The container is provided and replaced by the Council for free (call the recycling department).
I'm sure that the recycling department would be happy to give wet shavers a container.
It took me 2 years to fill it (about 4-5 litres) with needles (for pens), so it's safe to assume that 10 years or more would be necessary to fill it with DE blades...
It's ugly, but at least no one will be harmed during the recycling process (actually it's incinerated).

But what do you do with the box, tin, etc when it's full?

 

[chris.hale]

Not sure yet, I'll let you know in around ten years.

Recycler or trash, depending on your local laws & recycling facilities.
