+1 on this. You could just make them burnable fuel with a fuel value of 1kJ or something, that would let you void them in heating towers like everything else on Gleba.
If you've got a high-speed unloading apparatus, you can quickly end up with blocked slot items everywhere cluttering up everything.
Also, as it stands, there is no way to void blocked slot items remotely (AFAICT). I really don't want to have to fly back to Gleba to deal with this mess; I have spidertrons for that.
