[Histonet] Tissue specimen disposal

[Laurie Colbert]

We have an outside vendor, Stericycle, separate the formalin and the
tissue, and they take both for disposal.  I am in the Los Angeles area.

1.  How do you dispose of formalin fixed tissue specimens?  
2.  If you use a vendor, do you pour off the formalin first and have two
separate waste companies remove the fluid and tissue?  
3.  If you use one vendor for both, please provide vendor name.

Thanks,
Lisa
