The same recycler is used here for us. we are absolutely not allowed to put formaldehyde/formalin or EtOH or Xylene down the sink. If you don't use a recycler, hire a waste company to handle it. Janet

The path we chose was to purchase a very simple gravity feed recycler produced and sold by Creative Waste Solutions (888) 795-8300. Check them out.

We were told at our hospital that a consultant said it was okay to dump formaldehyde down the drain. I believe they said it was okay to dump 15 gallons or so a day! We are not to fond of this idea and would like to know what everyone else is doing. How is everyone disposing of their formaldehyde? We would be especially interested in what other hospitals in CT are doing.
