Our lab will be passing its 10th anniversary shortly, and for space considerations, will begin disposal of blocks and slides. None of blocks or slides from early years have patient ID, so no HIPAA concerns, but what other issues are there with disposal? What kind of waste do slides and blocks constitute? Are they considered medical waste? Any information, particularly from Illinois, appreciated.
