[Histonet] block disposal

[BSullivan <@t> shorememorial.org]

We double bag our blocks in Bio Hazard bags and then they are incinerated.

How does everyone handle disposing of blocks that are more than 10 years
old? Are they incinerated, hauled away by a waste management company or
just thrown in the trash.

In Maryland I was told they can't be thrown in the regular trash by a state
waste official.
