[Histonet] neutralize formalin

Wed Aug 6 10:06:42 CDT 2014

We  pour our waste xylene/alcohol into a drum and the formalin waste in a 
seperate drum for a waste service company to remove.  Problem is space to 
house 55 gal drums and we have more xylene/alc waste than formalin.  Does 
anyone neutralize formalin and dispose of it down the drain?  If so can you 
recommend  the method/product  utilized.
 Xylene recyler is not an option.
