Ditto in Massachusetts. I work at MGH and we are striclty regulated by the MWRA (Mass Water Resources Association) which monitors closely anything that goes down the drain. They are especially concerned with mercury and the ppm are very minute. Anything going down the drain can affect Boston Harbor. We have an outside company that collects our waste, including ethanol. We throw nothing down the drain.

We use Aldex to neutralize the formalin & then dispose of it on the biohazard trash. The mfr says once neutralized you can put it in regular trash, but we don't.
