I really don't like throwing stuff out that will just take up space in landfills and never break down.?

Question

Anyone know any way I can recycle old razor blades or make use of them?

Answer 1

Have you tried the recycling place in Eldorado?  Used to be called Eldorado Enterprise.  Also contact local contracters that strip paint or local wallpapering businesses.  Razor blades are an excellent way to strip paint, wallpaper and anything you want to remove in a narrow space.  Contact furniture refurbishing places.  If nothing else contact local barbers and ask them what they do with their razor blades and see if you can't find a resource from them.

Answer 2

OMG.  I know exactly what you mean.  Metal NEVER breaks down.

Answer 6

I commend you for being so good to earth!  BUT I have never heard of any place to recycle razor blades.  YOU mean plastic razors or just the blades?  I imagine they don't have recycling for blades because they are dangerous to handle.  

Perhaps you can find an alternative such as  "Preserve Razor Triple" made by a company called Recycline. Maybe there are others

Answer 7

I'm not sure about razor blades...somebody mentioned paint shops for stripping paint...that's an excellent idea.

Another thing that is bad for the environment...plastic bags. They are not biodegradable and are toxic to the environment, humans, and animals.

You can get reuseable shopping bags at Kroger (Choose to Reuse) for $.99 for the non insulated ones and $2.99 for the insulated ones. Using them just 10 times a person would cut down alot on the plastic bags that clutter our highways and landfills.

Also, buying drinks in glass bottles would also help. Glass is also recycleable, so it would cut down tremendously on the waste.

You can sign the no-plastics pledge on Leonardo DiCaprio's website...even though not everyone is a fan, we can all help keep our world cleaner together. I signed the pledge to not use plastics for 2 weeks.

And if you can't limit your plastic use, you can also snip the plastic thingys on 6 pack soda cans...sometimes these make their way to our lakes and oceans, catching small animals in them and killing them.
