[Histonet] slide disposal

[Bonnie Whitaker]

Hi All,

Can some of you give me ideas of how you handle old slide disposal?
Particularly those of you in smaller, private labs.  I have about 20 years
worth of slides that I need to dispose of.  If I have to send them with my
biohazardous waste, I can, but it seems like an unnecessary expense.
Currently that is what the procedure says that we do, but is it really
necessary?  Maybe someone out there would like to build a glass house : )
