Trash containers regularly have broken glass, drug needles, dead animals, rotting food, rat poison, tin can lids, metal shavings, leaking batteries and whatnot. Does he think someone sorts it with bare hands?
Recyclable steel shouldn't go in the trash
Also nobody is pawing through trash with their hands, garbage bins are all loaded by machine and dumped at the landfill.
Trying to be conscientious but to no effect. Just another moronic redditor I'm afraid to say.
Hahaha, there's a dude at work who goes through the trash with his bare hands to pull out bottles and shit.
That sums up my thoughts about the sentiment as well. A razor blade or saw blade is statistically one of the least dangerous things at one of these processing facilities. These people assume that the trash is being hand sorted and that all of it is "neat" household trash and not a lot of shit that comes from demo site that was just wrecked by an excavator and scooped up into a dumpster. At least at the facilities that I have been to in person, the sorting process is very hands off, where shit gets dumped out of the trucks, fed into a giant shredder that can shred an engine block, then fed through an automated sorting system to remove metal before finally being compacted and sent to the actual landfill.
This. Someone should find that homosexual and shame the frick out of them for not recycling. Maybe they'll off themselves from all the online bullying.
Imagine throwing away a nice piece of high-speed steel instead of using it for your own tooling.
Also this. Saw blades are decent steel, why wouldn't you save that and cut something out of it? I've sen people make knives out of them. Would make good scrapers too.

>garbage bins are all loaded by machine and dumped at the landfill
maybe where you live that's the case, but where i live (at least my city's trash in Sofia, Bulgaria) is being processed (including by hand) sorted and recycled
only a small portion of it goes to the landfill or getting burned as fuel
Yeah around here I just pile the metal stuff near the street close to my garbage can and the tweakers will inevitably come evaporate it within the week. They're faster than the garbage service if the weather is nice.
I throw my old razor blades in a jar full of salt water, rusts them out nice and good. Yes, stainless steel razor blades still rust. It's not so much that i worry about slicing up the garbage men, but i just don't want to cut myself in case a razor slashes through the garbage bag and i step on it or something.
As far as circular saw blades, they're really not sharp enough that they're going to instantly cut anyone who handles them. But if you're super worried about it, leave them outside for a month, that'll rust up the blades dull eventually.
One, who is just sticking their hands in a trashcan to be at risk of getting cut? Two, if im throwing a blade out, it implies that it's dull, so it's not going to slice you like a nice new blade could. Instead it would be a nasty jagged cut, but that'd require a little bit of force
garbage guys have a machine that dumps the can for them, even the guys that ride on the back should have them nowadays. So its probably not necessary

>Sorry about your circumstances.
I put my trash in the bin just like you do. I don’t care what you do with your steel or anything else for that matter. I was just pointing out the fact that you dipshits seem to think everything works the same place everywhere.
Get a green wheel and resharpen them if they still have carbide left. I do mine all the time. Mark the first one with a marker so you know where you started. Easy
It's a nice thing to do, but also OP is a giant homosexual who posts on plebbit to get attention rather than working
I’m on my lunch break
Frick no
If it can cut aluminum or steel, it can cut ductape.
You need to grind that shit down. I'm sure you have a Dremel or angle grinder

Should be going to the scrap yard, not into general trash. And who throws away blades if they're still sharp?
Waste on waste on waste

Based scrapper. I can get maybe 2 cents for that blade if I wait until the price is high.
Material such as that is sorted with an electro magnet, not human hands. This is a stupid post.
If you dont want to risk cutting yourself on trash, then dont become a trash man.
Also reddit homosexual go back. and stay there.

The rest goes to the rivers or are burn for heating houses, giving Sofia air such a sweet smell during the winter

are saw blades high speed steel?
i thought they were usually carbide-tipped.
It's steel
Spins really fricking fast
Hmm mm
They aren't high-speed steel, probably 1018 or some basic shit like that. Still a perfectly usable flat cut blank for something else though.
I doubt many are 1018 or similar. All of the ones I've used are at least hardened. Probably something cheap, but still heat treatable, like 1045.
small kek
I collect metal trash until the local gypsies come to my neighbourhood to buy and carry the trash away. It saves me the effort to transport the stuff.

I do this too, but it’s to give anyone digging through my trash tetanus.
If they aren't wearing gloves that's their fault.
>not raw-dogging the trash.
Why even live?
Reminds me of a webm of a garbage guy sticking his dong in a Fleshlight they found in the trash.
>processing your garbage
why the frick you digging through my trash bro?
That blade is Built For BBC
Lol. That masking tape isn't going to do shit once it gets compacted in the garbage truck.
Sounds very gay, real men have a scrap metal pile.
the correct protocol is to throw it in a random yard/field.
Bonus points if you can get it into a playground
Why would I throw away usable scrap?
You're supposed to throw them out to sea.
Union dick fricking the clock
I stick em in trees orhigh up on a telephone pole
Too lazy to work
Too broke toquit
So here I sit taking a shit
It is not spinning and not that sharp
>processing your garbage
Wot? It goes to the dump
I keep mine in a pile in case i need them for something stupid so I don't mess up my good blade.
Keep old blades to cut old flooring or roof sheating that contains nails.
of course
i always file down the sharp edges on food can lids too,

i hope you bag your shit before you flush it to protect all those poor sewage treatment plant workers.
>not the sharpest tool in the shed
>makes literal shit post
Tee hee
> buys bulk doggee bags
> carefully poops in the bag
> flushes
> clogs sewage
Uh i tape sharps so they won’t cut the bag open, i don’t really worry about the brown person digging in garbage.

>Picture of a black man.

Racist.
I'm not packing my saw blades because some morons in other states still prefer to pick garbage up by hand.
Wow that’s a really cool story. Thanks for sharing.
Share it to your coworkers when you're picking up your filth like neanderthals.
>share it to
Words are hard.
I stick my old blades in the expansion cuts on the sidewalk. Of course I sharpen them first
the poor trash men have to dig through your trash piece by piece, usually blindly
Well I know they're not paid well and hungry, but come on guys, the shit was thrown away for a reason.
>8k updoots
The west will fall soon
No they are more likely to get cut ripping that tape off
Keep the steel for knives
That green tape is going to come off extremely easily
Yeah they get picked up by machine in my area. Sorry about your circumstances.
It's still better to recycle the scrap steel
>Sorry about your circumstances.

saw blades aren't even sharp. doubly so if it's an old one that you're throwing away. do women actually think saw blades are sharp as razors?
