[Histonet] Slide disposal

[Shirley A. Powell via Histonet]

Hi Histonetters, mostly in the southeastern states, i.e. Georgia or South 
Carolina.

I need to dispose of some years of slides that has patient identifying info on 
them, are there any companies that grind slides in the state of Georgia?  I 
know there are companies that sell machines for this but I don't have the 
budget nor the volume for buying one.

Thanks for your assistance in advance.

We dispose of our slides (labels left on) in large sharps containers and have 
them hauled away by the waste disposal company.

[Histonet] Slide disposal

[Anne Murvosh via Histonet]

When disposing of slides after the 10 period is up, what is everyone doing to 
protect patient confidentiality? In the old days we would just put packing tape 
around the box and toss. With patient names on the slides and sometimes 
specimen location on the new labels I'm wondering how to dispose of them 
properly. Thanks Anne

Can anyone tell me the proper way to dispose of slides?  Are they considered 
biohazardous waste?

We package ours up to be incinerated.  Not so much because of biohazards, but 
our patient's names are on all the slides.
Thanks,

[Histonet] slide disposal

[Sharon Campbell]

Hi everyone!

Thank you for all the great responses to my last question about metal
vs. plastic molds. I have another question being debated however, How to
dispose of slides once the required time is up (10 years for us). We
have put the slide in sharps containers and then into biohazard, but are
they really bioharzard, the slides only contain the patients accession
number - no personal ID on the slides? How do you guys dispose of your
slides when space and money are an issue?

Thank you

We have a broken glass waste container we put ours in for pick up and 
disposal (don't deal with non-animal patients, so not an issue).

Re: [Histonet] slide disposal

[Rene J Buesa]

Old slides, after all the processing they have endured are not hazardous 
(from the contagious/disease point of view) any more.
They are hazardous from the mechanical (potential physical injury point of 
view) and it is more than enough to dispose of them in sharps containers.
Word of caution, just do not dump the slides on the sharp containers because 
they will occupy much more space (and will require more sharp containers) as if 
you try to place them in a good arrangement. Do not succumb to the temptation 
of making noise with the old slides as yiu dispose of them!

We use the same company that takes away our alcohol waste. They pulverize
the slides for us. There is a company in WI that makes a Slydeater that you
can rent for one month to pulverize your slides. I am looking into that
aspect.

All of our slides are put into buckets and placed in the regular
dumpster as long as there is no patient names on the slides. We don't
even treat them as sharps.
