[Nhcoll-l] Large Taxidermy Mount Disposal

[Molly Wolanski]

Hello All,

I am reaching out as I am looking for advice on disposal of a dermestid
infested musk ox mount. We are unable to treat the infestation as it is
pretty severe and it is up for deaccession and disposal. This is the first
time in over a decade we have had to dispose of a large mount. In compiling
the condition report, arsenic testing was done and it came back arsenic
negative.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
