i have a sharps bin too ( there are bonus' to working in the nhs, i use them for home visits, so always have one) i used to have a lockable box that i kept my blades in so i never disposed on them. please be careful with what you are doing with blades/sharps as the bin men are at risk. i got a needle stick injury through work last year and its horrid not knowing what you might have caught and waiting for blood tests etc.....
when i lived at home i always used toilet tissue to stop any bleeding and would flush that down the toilet
