What do you do with your broken or dull knife blades? Far too many people and companies have them laying around places they shouldn’t be, or they dispose of them improperly. These dangerous practices have the potential to harm someone. In addition to posing an injury risk, throwing away your metal blades is not good for the environment either. At Martor USA we want to help provide a solution to this problem, so we have joined the “going green” effort. Read on to learn more about our unique recycling program and how our products will help keep your employees as well as the environment safe.


What to Do with Your Used Blades


When you are ready to get rid of your used blades, the sensible solution seems to be to recycle them, right? The challenge becomes that most curbside recycling services do not accept scrap metal. So, what should you do? Don’t wrap those used blades in cardboard, electrical tape, or something else and then toss them in the trash can. Instead, utilize Martor USA’s convenient and safe Blade Recycling Program.


Martor’s Blade Recycling Program


Our Blade Recycling Program contains products and services that make it easy for you to recycle your used blades. Here’s how it works:


  1. Use the Martor SAFE BOX to securely store your used blades up to 2.5 inches (its innovative design keeps them inaccessible to fingers).

  2. When you are ready to dispose of and recycle your used blades, all you have to do is open the transparent cover of the SAFE BOX and empty the blades into the Martor BLADE BOX.

  3. Once the BLADE BOX is full, screw the lid on to lock it permanently.

  4. Then, return it to the Martor USA recycling center (we only accept blades – no needles, sharps, or biohazards).

  5. Once we receive your full BLADE BOX container, we will complete the final disposal of the blades for you. Then, we will send you back a free empty replacement BLADE BOX for you to fill up again.


We developed our unique recycling program because we feel it is essential for us to contribute to the “going green” effort. Plus, it also provides safe final disposal of used blades (safety is always our main priority). Just purchase one BLADE BOX, and we’ll continue to give you a free replacement every time you send in a full one for us to recycle. This efficient program keeps us green, your workplace safe, and prevents your used blades from ending up in landfills.
