[greenyes] Re: Recycling of razor blades

[JRay3@no.address]

Kelly, 
As long as the razors from your lab aren't a biohazard, any danger presented 
by a stray blade pales in comparison to the normal scrapyard environment 
(speaking as a former steel torcher).  If your blades are loaded into a steel (tin) 
food can @ 1/2 full, which can then be squeezed shut and crimped over, 
they'll be safely contained until they meet either the furnace or a shredder, where 
everything is transformed into sharp shards.  This technique is often upscaled 
to 55 gallon drums full of textile needles, razor-sharp turnings, sawblades, 
and the like.
It'd be best to deposit such a can directly into a steel recycling bin, not 
your curbside recycling bin, but then again- tell that to the diabetics who 
regularly send plastic bottles full of needles to their local MRF.
