Has anyone ever had to dispose of a hazardous substance? We have two
unaccessioned vials of poison (one of which is morphine sulphate) that we
would like to dispose of. Ordinarily, we would auction such items off, but
given the hazardous nature of these substances, that seems to be the wrong
approach.  Any thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks
Tracy
