[Histonet] Retaining empty containers

[Sherwood, Margaret]

We too save our containers; on several occasions we had the investigator
question the coding (usually their fault)!  We keep ours for @a month
(overkill), and then empty the formalin into waste container for pickup and
discard the bottles.

We keep all of our empty containers for one week in plastic biohazard buckets
and we label them Monday, Tuesday, etc. (same as Rosa).  Saving them has saved
our butt more than a few times!
