 Hello all.this is an on-going topic with our lab.



If anyone can comment about your experience with paraffin waste, I
appreciate that in advance.



Does your lab or state requirements classify paraffin waste as "hazardous,
bio-hazardous, RCRA or other"?  Do you dispose as part of Red Bag trash for
autoclave or tissue pathology waste or other hazardous waste for
incineration?
