Hi Pam,
	We have a waste disposal unit in our sink. It does jam
occasionally ( when someone drops a blade or cassette down it ) but I
wouldn't be without it..

I would like to know if other histo departments have a disposal in the
sink at the grossing station.  Every other hospital I have ever workd at
has, but at my current job we  have been told that it is an infectious
hazard and we could not get one.  It seems to me having to pick the all
the lovely stuff out of the sink drain by hand is more of a hazard.  Is
this something new I don't know about.  I would like to have some facts
to take to my supervisor on this.  Thanks for the help.
