 After decanting the formalin off our tissue is bagged in biohazard bags that 
are in a biohazard box. The box is labeled pathology waste for incineration 
only.

Hi,
Stericycle takes care of all your waste, including decanting and disposal.  
They are all over the US..Health & Safety alone plus employee time will justify 
you using these people.  No one should still be doing this…
I’ve used this company at several hospitals. They are great.
Good luck,

Subject: [Histonet] Tissue disposal

Good morning Histopeeps! After reviewing our Policy Procedure Manual, our 
manager is questioning the bags we are using for disposing our tissues after 
diagnosis is complete.  We are separating the tissue from the formalin by 
straining the excess formalin and neutralizing it.  We then put the tissue into 
“Large Biohazard Bags” and the EVS staff picks it up and disposes it.  My 
manager is wondering if the “Biohazard Bags" are appropriate.  Should the bags 
state “Tissue” on the them?  Are there any special disposal bags available?

While working for a GI Lab in Monterey, CA we put all our bottle and tissue in 
"Biohazard Bags" and a Hazardous Waste company picked up the waste products 
from our endoscopy department along with ours.  Any comments and suggestions 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Akemi Allison, BS, HT/HTL
