[Histonet] disposal of pathologic waste

[Eck, Allison]

For those of you that discard your pathologic waste:

  1.  Do you separate the formalin from the tissue?
  2.  Do you have a company that will take tissues in formalin for disposal?
  3.  Body fluids from cytology that contain formalin, how are those discarded?

Thank you in advance
