    Sharps disposal literally exists for this reason

    Steel would also office without fire

    Where do you think the rust goes in either case?

      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.

          If I didn’t burn it? If I wrapped it in wax paper and threw it in the garbage? Maybe it cuts through the bag and injures someone handling it. Maybe an animal gets into the trash the and dies after getting cut by it. Turns into super steel? What the fuck are you even saying? It would take a razor blade many months to rust away if left completely exposed, and again I’m trying very specifically to avoid doing that because the blades are dangerous. I’m having trouble fathoming how you could be this dense.
