How to Dispose of Your Old Guitar Strings

MATT GRAHAM: Okay. So I've got all these clippings for my new strings and the bulk of my old strings to deal with. And again, as I've said, the only real safety concern with changing guitar strings is these sharp ends that strings can have on them, and you don't want these in a plastic trash bag, loose, where they can poke through and scratch somebody or even impale somebody. So you're just going to go ahead and wrap them carefully in a loose coil like this, and your goal is to kinda tuck all those sharp ends, you know, towards the inside. And then you can get one of these paper, little bags that the strings can pack in and even if you want to be extra careful, pack it back inside the vinyl or cardboard packaging it came in. In that way, you can throw it away with a clean conscience that you're not going to give somebody tetanus with your newly changed guitar strings.
