We use Aldex, neutralize the formalin and dispose of the neutralized gel in the biohazard trash. The manufacturer says it can go in regular trash, but we choose to put it in biohazard trash.

[Histonet] Re: disposal of formalin
Proper disposal of formaldehyde is a topic that has been discussed many times on Histonet - Google: histosearch formalin disposal A great deal of misinformation circulates about this subject. I think basically it's what your local regulatory agencies - particularly the water department - want you to do. I'd particularly look at Dr. John Kiernan's note. Most of this discussion was around the turn of the century, and may be out of date. What I wrote on Histonet in 1999 still holds: We need to distinguish in our thinking among: *the environmental facts about what happens to formaldehyde * the rules imposed by regulatory agencies * the deceptions and concealments of commercial interests * the blind faith of most end users * and last, and definitely least, the fond musings of elderly pathologists.
