[Histonet] Good Lab Practices (clarification)

[Joyce Cline]

We have our blocks and slides hauled by the same company that picks up
our alcohol/substitute waste. The blocks are packed in cardboard drums
and incinerated. I am in Maryland you can go to the site for regulated
medical waste resource locator on line.

I found this site useful

I posted yesterday asking if anyone would share their protocols/manuals 
regarding disposal of blocks/tissues.

For clarification, this is not because I need info to write a manual.
Our 
state does not have any clear guidelines, and a USDA official is trying
to 
get an idea of "what other labs do" to help certify a new lab in our 
state. 

Can you share with me how your lab disposes of blocks and tissues? What 
logs or records are kept?
