Disposal of slides 

Here's a medical records-management question:  We need to dispose of a
batch of extra slides that were prepared for participants in our
cytopathology quality assurance programs.  Since these slides do contain
minute amounts of human tissue, we have this sinking feeling that we'll
need to handle them in accordance with biohazardous materials
guidelines.  Are we right?  Any suggestions  for how to go about this
with the minimum of hassles?

Thanks in advance for your help.
