call Carolina Biological. I was told by Carolina several years ago that
Carosafe could be diluted and poured down the drain. Never done so - but I would
check. Of course any "pour down" the drain is also dependent on location of
school. "Gallons" is an additional issue

Hi: Best of the New Year to everyone. I was bombarded
with a question yesterday about the right way to dispose of gallons of
Carosafe liquid. It is a liquid that is used to preserve dead pigs
and our biology department has gallons of it. This mixture
consist of water (89%), propylene glycol (10.01%),
2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3- propanediol (0.66%) and 2-Phenoxyethanol (0.33%),
according to the SDS. Has anyone work with this liquid before and
what is the best and legal way to dispose of it within NY state? Thank
you, Richard Denton, CHO
