We have a "Pathport" container ( kind of large) that we use, we place it on a (designated) cart. When we are done with the extremity, we place it in a large (designated)  biohazard (sharps) container which we store in our walk-in refrigerator until time for disposal. 
We return the "Pathport" container and cart  to our Sterile processing department, they decontaminate the "Pathport" and it and the cart are returned to the O.R. area.

I work in a research lab so this may not go over well.  How about using 
a cart and a child size body bag? You would not be able to see through 
the bag and there shouldn't be any smell and you most likely have a cart 
around the place.

We have tried cardboard boxes (no longer allowed) and plastic totes on rollers (too big to store and absorb odors from the legs).  The histology lab is located quite a ways from the OR and passes through some main areas of the hospital.  I was wondering what everybody else uses for this issue.  All suggestions are appreciated.  Thank you in advance for any ideas.
