We have a "broken glass" waste container we put ours in for pick up and disposal (don't deal with non-animal patients, so not an issue).

Hi everyone!

Thank you for all the great responses to my last question about metal
vs. plastic molds. I have another question being debated however, How to
dispose of slides once the required time is up (10 years for us). We
have put the slide in sharps containers and then into biohazard, but are
they really bioharzard, the slides only contain the patients accession
number - no personal ID on the slides? How do you guys dispose of your
slides when space and money are an issue?

Thank you
