If you can't put it in regular waste, then it makes no difference.
The gov't says "no way" so what are we little guys supposed to do?

I mean, it's a pretty strong DNA intercalator. I only use 1uL EtBr in
a 50mL gel and get really bright bands. The Gel Red dye says it needs
16mL for a 50mL gel. That's a lot of Gel Red compared with EtBr. I
assume you get the same results. Am I right?
