[Histonet] tissue container disposal

[Joe Nocito]

Most definitely. Some stated vary from county to county. It's always best to 
contact your local authorities.
We throw our empty containers in the trash, but all our trash is 
incinerated. My last job, we collected the empty containers in a biohazard 
box to be picked up by a licensed waste company.
