We have an outside vendor, Stericycle, separate the formalin and the tissue, and they take both for disposal. I am in the Los Angeles area.

Black Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 12:51 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] Tissue specimen disposal 1. How do you dispose of formalin fixed tissue specimens? 2. If you use a vendor, do you pour off the formalin first and have two separate waste companies remove the fluid and tissue? 3. If you use one vendor for both, please provide vendor name.
