I’m not suggesting burning all trash, I’m suggesting burning a miniscule amount of steel to avoid the risk it poses to human and animal life. It turns into iron oxide (RUST). The fire pit ring itself will have about 100x as much of it.
I literally don’t have sharps disposal available to me. The rust will mix with the ash and become dispersed harmlessly into the soil. Look at an iron ore mine and you will see millions of tons of iron oxide, because that’s how iron is usually found in nature.
I use those blades in present day.
When I put in a new blade, I keep the wax paper wrapper, then rewrap the discarded blade in said wax paper before discarding it.
Give or take twelve years into this endeavor, I’ve had zero issues with this system.
I put all my used ones in a clear pill bottle. Plan is to burn them in the next campfire I have so that they never enter the waste stream.
You’re joking, right?
Why would I be joking? Razor blades will oxidize into nothing in a fire
That’s brilliant! We should burn all of our garbage so nothing enters the environment!

Sharps disposal literally exists for this reason
Steel would also office without fire
Where do you think the rust goes in either case?

Again, what do you think would happen if you didn’t burn it? It turns into super-steel?
