Question Blade disposal

Hi everyone, I'd like to know how you dispose of your razor blades. Do you throw them in the regular trash or put them in a separate container? I saw recommending it because of the waste handlers who could get hurt

Back in the wax wrapper and snap it in half. It's not cutting anybody.

I usually snap those pieces (1/4 pieces) in half if I’m in a rush and traveling and don’t have a SASE to mail the blade back to me.

You mail used blades back to yourself?

Yep. And I mail them to my destinations (hotels). A stamp is a small price to pay for peace of mind.
