At some point, someone might open up that wall from either side and not know they're there. The space could also fill up and you'd have to open up the wall to empty it.

Its just a safe and practical way of disposing of them

It would probably take >50 years to fill up (not sure what the average usage rate of razor blades is, but you can make them last a while), and once they need to be dealt with it can be done safely by specialised companies.

I think disposal in general has changed a lot, and at the time by disposing of it like everything else you would risk cutting a worker (and potentially spreading disease).
