I use the heat-sealable bags. I only keep the tissues for 6 months then discard. I keep them up right in plastic bins (animal cages I think they are called). Occasionally I have one that will dry out but for the most part it works fine. I get the bags from Fisher the heavier ply. Label the bag, add just enough formalin to cover the tissues since they are already fixed. When I am ready to dispose of them I put the bags in a red bag and they are then incinerated. I asked our incinerator operator if I needed to pour off the formalin and he said it wasn't enough to affect his incinerator so save me lots of time.
