UDV DISPOSAL 
Since the vials are heat sealed with foil lids they cannot be reused for new
tests. One way to recycle the vials is to keep a bowl or bucket of soapy
water nearby for placement of used vials. At the end of the day, drain the
used batch over a sink and allow to dry overnight. The next day place them
in your plastic recycling bin or rinse and use as an extra sample blank tube.
Warning: Recyclers should check with the local authorities since some
states may require that no chemical residue or foil remains on the plastic.
