We take ours with our old metal for recycling.

@morganjen - My Dad taught me many years ago that if a knife did not come with a sheath to make one out of cardboard, tape the one long end and one short end and slide the knife it. I do that when I need to dispose of a knife so the blade is not exposed.

I'd fold a piece of cardboard over the blade and wrap it with tape. Toss in my trash bag.

I like using old knives, in the flower gardens, and getting to weeds, they come in handy.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

i highly recommend the service KNIFE AID. i first saw them on shark tank and gave them a try. WOW, did they do a fantastic job of taking very dull knives and making them sharp again. it is all done via usps. they can even fix tips of knives also.

will be sending in another batch soon. the first batch of knives were cutco from the 1950s! they are miracle workers. lol

I would just wrap them up in bubble wrap with strapping tape.

Garbage men don't open trash bags. they are swept into their trucks "dumpster" at each stop.

I keep an old knife to open boxes from amazon.

My garbage men pick up the bags out of my bin. So they could get cut if things were not wrapped or wrapped badly. You need a box cutter for opening boxes. They are much more effective than old, dull knives.
