I don't mind putting the egg shells into the garden. I crush them in a plastic bag with an old rolling pin (if I'm not inclined to use a mortar and pestle) and sprinkle them around with coffee grounds before I mulch. I wear garden gloves most of the time due to poison ivy seedlings that pop up here so it's not an issue for me.
