[Histonet] 5 GALLON PLASTIC XYLENE CONTAINERS

[Fairman Mara]

I have a question for anyone ordering xylene or toluene in the 5 gallon
heavy white plastic containers.  The cost for disposal companies to take
away is high.  The landfills won't take unless they are: triple rinsed, all
warning labels removed and large holes in them (so they can't be re-used).
It is not an easy task to remove those labels, not to mention finding a way
to put holes in that heavy plastic.  I would appreciate hearing how other
labs are disposing of these.
Thanks,
Mara
