Subject: [Histonet] xylene disposal

There has been some concern about the proper disposal of paraffin from
the tissue processor due to a small amount of residual xylene in the
paraffin.
To satisfy EPA guidelines, how do labs in New York State dispose of
their paraffin and alcohols that have small traces of xylene?
