unless these specimens are total crap, wouldn't it make more sense to donate them to another museum???? These specimens were collected and have a certain inate value to research and education that should not be overlooked!

In my area (east of Pittsburgh) there are local hazardous waste disposal
days. For a small fee (under $50) youi can bring solvents, old oil based
paints, etc. for disposal. They do not take tires and sometimes there wil
be someone who recycles old lead-acid batteries. You might want to check
with local conservation groups to see if there is a similar program
nearby.

Regards,
Charlie
