[Histonet] Alcohol Disposal

[pathrm35 <@t> adelphia.net]

Samuel,

We have been using a chemical waste company to pick up our waste alcohol and xylene. They have proven to be unreliable and expensive so we sought another means. We are currently testing a CBG recycler for our alcohol and xylene waste. We have had very good results and have reduced our waste ten fold.
