Jessica,

Check with your state and local countyj/community rules, too.  We (in
Massachusetts) had to comply with local regualtions and "red-bag" or
biohazard our blocks for disposal.

Hi Everyone,
 
How are we supposed to get rid of  patient blocks once the required
time to keep them ends? We are throwing them out in the regular trash
and are wondering if regulations might have changed. 
 
Thanks,
 
Jessica Piche-Grocki, HT(ASCP)
