[Histonet] Slide disposal

[Wanda.Smith <@t> HCAhealthcare.com]

We package ours up to be incinerated.  Not so much because of biohazards, but our patient's names are on all the slides.
Thanks,
Wanda

Can anyone tell me the proper way to dispose of slides?  Are they considered biohazardous waste? 
 
Thanks so much, 
Lyn
