How are you all disposing the paraffin that comes off of the tissue processor? Do you consider it as biohazard waste and disposing it as such or are you putting it into the regular trash disposal? I have been asked why I am disposing it the way I do. I consider it as biohazard waste. Your help in this will be greatly appreciated.
