[Histonet] ventana IHC and special stains users

Our IHC waste is hauled away like our Alcohol/Xylene sub. The town we are in
would not allow the IHC waste down the sink, but they do allow us to throw
the NexES sp. Stainer waste down the sink. Maryland is the state.

Please for those of you using a Ventana IHC instrument and/or special stains
instrument, I am interested in what you do to dispose of your toxic waste.
I know each municipality is different so let me know what you do and where
you live.  Ventana does not separate toxic from non toxic waste so I imagine
there is a lot of toxic waste to deal with and the liquid coverslip alone is
something that I would think should not go down the drain??????

 

Best regards,

Patsy
