[Histonet] RE: Waste Alcohol

[Rathborne, Toni]

We have been disposing of our alcohols like this for years. This would include alcoholic eosin too. We are allowed to mix the waste xylene with the alcohols because they are the same classification, and treated the same way.

Subject: [Histonet] Waste Alcohol

Hello to all in histoland.  Is there anyone putting alcohol into a waste drum like for xylene.  We have a company that takes away our xylene.  Now the safety people are suggesting that we treat the alcohol the same way.  We have always poured the alcohol down the drain.  It seems very expensive.  Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
