    Question Getting rid of kitchen knives

    I'm currently in the middle of packing as we are moving and I've just gone through the kitchen. We had a few knives we don't use and I want to get rid of them, but how? I can't just put them in the bin can I???

    Donate them to lifeline?

    I've got a few people you could stick them in

    actually call your local police station to ask them where they recommend you taking them to dispose of them - they may have somewhere they suggest. I'm not too sure if lifeline/vinnies etc take donations.

    Otherwise you could try your local school for their tuckshop???

    You can throw them in the kitchen bin, just wrap them in several sheets of newspaper first

    Mel!

    I thought about wrapping them in newspaper, but I'm still worried someone will stab themselves!! Good idea about the police! I might try that, they'll probably come and check if there is any blood on them first!!

    Thanks ladies!!

    shouldn't do if you explain to them they're just excess kitchen knives and you "want to be a responsible citizen and dispose of them in a safe way".

    Let us know what they say, I need to get rid of some and there are only so many voodoo dolls you can stick knives into before you run out of voodoo dolls

    Ok-I rang the council and they said you can just put them in the normal bin just make sure they are wrapped really well in newspaper or cloth.

    Thanks for your help girls!
