Yellow sack or residual waste?
It is not at all obvious where we should throw used razor blades.
We'll tell you where they belong.
In almost every bathroom we discover razor blades or similar means to counteract our hair growth.
Wet razors
that we can use in the shower, for example,
are particularly popular
.
The problem with the practical objects, however, is their short life.
We have to replace the blunt blades at regular intervals so as not to injure ourselves.
In addition, a lot of hair and skin particles collect in it, which can be particularly unhygienic.
But what to
do
with the used razors
?
Since they usually contain metal and plastic, the choice between yellow sack * and residual waste is not so easy.
We explain what you have to consider when disposing of it.
Dispose of razor blades: you belong in this garbage
It may be tempting to simply and quickly banish razor blades to the yellow sack or the material bin.
As the portal
haus.de
writes,
among other things
, razors are hygiene items,
which is why they should end up in the residual waste
, regardless of whether it is just the blades or entire razors.

Never dispose of razor blades unpacked
There is one more thing to keep in mind: Since even blunt blades can cut open garbage bags, you
should never dispose of razors unpacked
.
When carrying out the rubbish there is also the risk of injuring your hand if you come into contact with the blades.
In the best case scenario, you've saved the razor packaging to throw it away.
Otherwise,
haus.de
advises
you
to use
newspaper
in which you can wrap the hygiene articles.
Alternatives to shaving with blades
Would you like to do without a wet razor completely?
Fortunately, there are now many practical alternatives.
These include, for example,
special hair removal creams
,
cold wax strips
or
epilators
.
There are also
electric razors
that are specially designed for shaving legs and other parts of the body.
