[Histonet] RE: Waste Alcohol

[Horn, Hazel V]

Our xylene and alcohol go into a waste drum to be disposed of.   We do recycle both but of course we still have waste to dispose of.

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.
