[Histonet] Histology Waste in Florida

[Sheila Haas]

We have our xylene, alcohol and formalin all hauled away.
Where you  and the quantity are may dictate how to handle the alcohol and 
formalin, every city/county are different. Be sure you get the information in 
writing if you get someone of authority to tell you it's okay to pour down
the drain. Hope this helps.

Hi Histonetters,



This is a question specific to Florida.  Can you share with me what your
facilities do with regards to the disposal of formalin and alcohol?  With
regards to formalin, do you recycle, haul it away, neutralize etc?  With
regards to alcohol, do you haul away, pour down the drain, recycle etc?
Does anyone have any specific regs that could help answer these questions?



Thanks!
