My blade bank is 3/4 full, after 3.5 years.  Once the bank is full, I plan to take the blades to the nearest hospital, and place them in the "Sharp Disposal" area at the hospital.  I am not sure what they do with them.

Does anyone know what hospitals do with their disposed blades?

Where do you take your blades?

Medical waste is sent to China where the Chinese throw it in the Pacific Ocean to poison the world they hate and all the animals they have yet to torture for amusement and profit.  California beaches are full of the medical waste the Chinese discard knowing it coming to our shores to wash up on the beaches.

Umm and where do you imagine most of our plastic waste ends up. Hint. It's not in the US. And the US is not party to the international treaty governing export of plastic waste.

If corrupt govts accept money to recycle plastic and other items then decide to pollute their nations pocketing the money in overseas accts, how is that Westerners “living in glass houses”?  

If a culture is rife with mysanthropy, corruption, avarice and dishonour, how can we be held accountable?  

Personally, would like to see all these cesspools and their slimedwellers left to swill in the Hell of their own making which would remove us completely from the equation. However, blaming us for cesspool dwellers’ actions is vastly different from the direct affirmative actions these scumbags take to destroy the environment and the suffering they cause globally to flora and fauna alike as a result

The US allows the export with full knowledge of where it's going and refuses participation in international accords regulating the export.. But of course we can't be held accountable given our refusal to abide by international standards. If you don't want it to happen stop exporting it to countries that can't regulate it. Or recycle it in the US it's our waste for chrissakes.

On point, re razor blades I don't know.

As stated, my preference would be for all these cesspools to be left to drown in their own feces -we neither need their markets nor the unemployment and social malady they export thru slavery based manufacturing.  Globalism and the neoliberalism behind it is a form of slavery; have stated my objections to it and market fundamentalism on numerous occasions in various threads.  While there is a growing movement to destroy the neoliberal hegemony dominating both major US political parties (and by extension Western "democracies" generally), until utterly comprehensively destroyed, they will continue to act in the sole interests of the top 10%, conspiring with their fellow elites in the third world to destroy civilized society and the planet.  Rest assured doing everything possible to bring that change about sooner rather than later.

Specifically regarding blades, store used blades in a steel disposable container until filled, have a friend fire at very high temp fusing and afterward send to scrap metal yard for recycling

You might just take it to the recycling center. If you can somehow "modify" the bank to prevent spillage that would be good since the blades, while not sharp enough for shaving, are still sharper than many knives. If you have a deadly pathogen you might want to consider extreme measures.

Hence why have a friend heat at extremely high temps to near melting that fuses it as a chunk prior to depositing at metal recycler
