Re: SHREDDER

["Dale E. Boyce" <dale@radpro.uchicago.edu>]

We have looked into shredders that have the capacity to shred laboratory
waste very thoroughly, and will probably eventually get one.  Space is
a problem right now.  Gensco at 1-800-268-6797 had a high capacity one
I think costs about $70,000 or more.  Stepp Equipment is our local
vendor for Security Engineered Machinery.  They have a 200 lb per hour
model for $17k and a 400 lb/hr one for $24k.  The SEM machines are 
intended for medical waste streams and will destroy sharps.

Wendy Woehr from Columbia-Pres. Medical Center presented at the Albany
meeting.  They purchased a shredder from Shred-PAX.  I don't have a
number for them.
