We keep our "empty" containers for 6 weeks after grossing, which is
typically 5 weeks after signout.

Ditto.

re:

CAP retention guidelines say that wet tissues are to be retained for 2 weeks
after final signout.  We keep all containers, empty or not, for the 2 weeks
then strain and discard them in biohazard trash.
