What's the proper way to dispose of these blades to prevent someone from getting cut accidentally?

I place them in an empty Altoids container . Any small metal container will do. Once full, I tape the top closed and put it out for recycling.

Slide the used blade into the slot on the back of the dispenser and when full dispose of in the trash - that's what the dispenser is designed for-eh!!

that's a good question. What I did was made my own blade bank by following this http://howtogrowamoustache.com/how-to-make-a-recyclable-blade-bank/I used a evaporated milk can

I put them back in the paper sleeves in which they are packaged, which at least prevents having an exposed razor in the trash. Best thing to do would be to put them in a "sharps container" like those seen in physican offices and hospitals.

Know this is old question, But if you have a older house your medicine cabinet in the bathroom should have a razor drop as mine does, So I simply drop them in between the walls through my razor drop.

I always put them in a small box and when it is full, tape if up, mark it razors and put the box in the recycle bin.

Go to ebay and type "Oil Can Bank" in the search bar. I bought one for just under $5.00. I'll be dead before I fill it up. Or in a nursing home unless I find a rope first.

I save one in the empty plastic dispenser, and fill it up with all my used blades. One can probably hold around 20 used blades.

Go to Wal-Mart and buy a cheap piggy bank and label it "Used Razor Blades". When it is full tape over the opening and throw it in the trash. Done.

Lots of people will individually wrap them like they were originally packaged and then throw them in the trash. If you are concerned that this is not sufficient, you could always buy a medical sharps container, and then properly dispose of that when it is full!

There's a white plastic thing right below the blade. it's to cover the sharp blade when not in use. Just push it out. :)

They come in a small cardboard container.... all 100 blades are wrapped in paper, then slid into the container. You will not die (at least not from these blades). I would suggest only carrying a few at a time in something made of firm plastic, something that will hold your handle also like a toothbrush holder.

I guess you could do that. The parts are not very big so it's pretty easy to just scrub them down in the sink. I wouldn't put the piece behind the blade in the dishwasher.

I store my blades in an old ointment tin box. If it ever fills up, I guess I can take it to a metal recycle station.

I believe I cut it with a utility knive where it was attached. Use caution.

Swivel the locking lever and pop it out. It's not hard to do. Take the old blade with you to the store as there is a bewildering selection.

I'm not sure that is a valid concern. You probably shouldn't keep a blade around long enough that it will rust.

I am diabetic and dispose of the syringes in pop cans. Like wise I dispose of my straight razor blades in the same way. A piece of tape can be placed over the can opening if you are concerned about them coming back out of the opening.

Thats just preservative that they coat the blade with for storage (nobody wants to buy a rusty cutting-tool). It will evaporate or dry up when you use it. You will probably need to scrub the blade with gun-oil or WD-40 every so often anyway, after its been used.

Underneath the blade, where the blade closes into, there should be a locking pin. Pull the locking pin to the side and the knife will close.

I keep mine in the sheath, it probably just says that so they don't get sued if you cut yourself

They should pivot freely. When you start it up they should swing out. When you hit your first wall you will be glad they fold back in like that. Cut the power as soon as you hit something and the blades will survive no problem.

There is a tiny switch behind the push bar to close it, That's a lock. Slide that little switch back towards the rear of the knife. the blade is probably locked

I don't think you are supposed to cut them....I read that if the mat gets cut accidently, you shouldn't use it any more..not sure why

Just remove the piece you cut, you don't want to lock it up again till you're finished with it for the day...
