I don't think DE blades have any real way of being recycled. I personally feel they should be regarded as medical waste, particularly any blades that have come into contact with blood. I bought a sharps container on Amazon for $7 that will hold literally hundreds of blades and last me for years. I produce no real waste a negligible amount of this way, considering nothing gets thrown out in my trash can to sit in a landfill, and I will be disposing of it at a drop-off site years from now (the major hospital in my city has one).

EDIT: For the record, I admire your commitment to ecologically friendly practices, definitely not trying to attack you there. Also, that sharps container is mad cheap now: [liiiiiink](Medline Sharps Container Biohazard Needle Disposal Container - 1 Quart https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B9W78W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7ekQzbZGVCCSY)

Try straight razor or safety razor shaving. Not trying to be a pretentious hipster douchebag encouraging you to buy a $200 dangerous straight razor with no experience. I got a $10 pack of 100 blades to use with my $20 safety razor. After I got comfortable, I got a (literally) $8 straight razor that I use with the same blades. A year later, my only expenses are a thing of shave soap, a sharps container for my old blades, a brush, and a brush stand that a folded out of a piece of coathanger that I colored black with a sharpie.

Is it a revolutionary shave, closer and more perfect than any expensive cartridge? Is every shaving session an equivalent sensation to making love with my face? No. It takes easily 1.5x as long, and requires more components, so I have to let my brush sit out and dry. Changing a blade takes a clear 30 seconds compared to the 2 seconds it used to. BUT, I make up ALL of that time and more with how little I have to run my blade under the water, especially if it's been a few days. And, after the initial, what, $60 investment, I shave for like $10 a year now? And a get a fresh blade every 3 shaves. It could be every shave if I wanted, you snap the 10¢ double edged blades in half for the straight razor, that's five cents a blade. Take that, Dollar shave club. I'm in the six cents shave club, assuming a $10 brick of soap only lasts a year, which it's usually a month or so over.

I picked up one of these Biohazard Sharps Containers from a drug store in Canada, there was no charge for it and when it’s full you can return it to them for disposal. I use it for all my razor and utility knife blades. They are also available on Amazon. Also some public washrooms have these containers mounted on the wall, you could dispose of your blades there.

Real talk you can buy [sharps containers on amazon](Medline Sharps Container Biohazard Needle Disposal Container - 1 Quart https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B9W78W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_g7CsDbN25B65J ) for cheap. Check with your local municipal laws about the disposal of sharps containers, but usually you then put the container in a brown paper bag, label that bag “biohazard-sharps”, fold and staple it closed, then toss with your normal trash
