How can I dispose of old cutlery safely?

I have recently been completely refurbishing my home. I have managed to sell old furniture and carpets etc in newspapers and online, and most other things have gone for re-cycling. Now; the kitchen! All of my old crockery, casserole dishes etc, I have smashed into small pieces, ready to use as drainage in plantpots in the garden....so, most of the stuff has been disposed of in an eco-friendly way. My problem now is, how do I dispose of old cutlery, particularly things like carving knives, bread knives etc safely?

Hi, you sound really busy and good on you for not just dumping it. Charity shops will be more than happy to take them or a scrap metal dealer, art college, I've seem some amazing mobiles made from twisted and bent cutlery
Reply:I can understand not wanting carving knives etc to end up in the wrong hands, but the fact is that these are widely available, and anyone intent on getting their hands on one for the wrong reasons can walk into almost any shop and buy what is needed.





That said. almost everyone will use them responsibly. I would concurr with what has been said above, or car boot sales etc.
Reply:Take it to your local charity shop, they would be glad to have it.
Reply:How about putting it on your local Freecycle group? Someone out there might be able to get a few more years use out of them!
Reply:I donate to groups like Goodwill, Recycling Matters, Canadian Diabetes, Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy. They sell the items themselves or to thrift shops. You must have organizations in your area which can benefit, too.
