Wrapping It Up: The Art of Knife Packaging
Let's start with the basics: safety first. Knives are sharp, and we want to keep our sanitation workers and the world at large in one piece. The golden rule? Wrap that sucker up tight. Think of it like a mummy for metal. Cardboard is your friend here. Wrap the knife in a layer of cardboard, secure it with tape, and then for extra drama, wrap it in another layer. Label it clearly: "CAUTION: SHARP OBJECT INSIDE". This isn't a game of hide-and-seek, people.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.

QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.

- Sharp is Scary: For those larger, sharper knives, you'll need a more dramatic exit. Place it next to your recycling bin for bulk metal pickup. Yes, it’s like a little knife funeral.
Don't Be a Knife Criminal
