Get a different can opener. They make them now that don't leave sharp edges at all.

I was thinking about ring-pulls though. As my fingers can attest, those are plenty sharp and I often think they must present a hazard to disposal workers but idk what to do about it

I just use my safe can opener on those as well, works fine. It uses pressure to split the rolled over seam around the edge, so it doesn't matter too much what kinda can it is.

Ah yeah, I see. I just cram them back into the can, fwiw.
