We had the same problem. Right now we use the larger red biohazard
containers. I would be interested in any other suggestions as well.

Subject: Glass Disposal

Does anyone have a written procedure for glass disposal?  We were previously
using glass disposal boxes labeled as such.  We have been currently told
that the cardboard boxes are not acceptable.  This is a new CAP requirement.
