[Histonet] Solid Waste Reduction

[Cindy Bird via Histonet]

Would anyone be willing to share the policy for " solid waste reduction"?  
We've had a policy and procedure in place for years but our safety officer is 
trying to cut down on the cost of such disposable.  Any information would be 
greatly appreciated.

Anyone know where I can find the "old" special stain description sheets?  The
