VixSta Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get rid of some unwanted kitchen knives? I presume you shouldn't just throw them away in the normal household rubbish. Can they be recycled?

Sue Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If they are metal then I guess they can be recycled, but otherwise I'd have thought you can put them with the rubbish if you wrap them up well so nobody can be hurt.I put broken glass in with household rubbish, but I wrap it up well with newspaper and sellotape (or bubble wrap) and mark it "broken glass", so you could do the same with knives?

bonaome Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The reuse and recycling centre will take them, if you can get up there. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/67313-unwanted-kitchen-knives/#findComment-876573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VixSta Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks to both of you. Will probably need to take a trip to the dump to get rid of a nasty old carpet so could definitely take the knives to the reuse centre.

Lowlander Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Wrap them up in newspaper and sellotape together.https://www.askthe.police.uk/content/q644.htmAA special trip just to drop knives off would probably generate more pollution that would be saved in recycling them...
