Diabetes strips (gold )

[artart47]

Hi friends!
I have a number of people saving them for me and while working on the old nursing home my friend bought in Peshtigo, wisconsin I discovered "the dirty room" It is filled with huge cardboard boxes containing containers of bio waste. Seringes and more test strips than racine has "obama phones"
I'll be bringing it back with me along with any medical devices that they're not going to use. These strips are about a quarter inch x about an inch and a quarter. Is that the size of them. I've seen pics on the posts but with nothing to reference the size. Always thought they were really big.
Been reading a lot about them and plan to see what comes from them.

Art, please be very careful with that stuff. You'll potentially be exposed to every nasty disease that's come through that facility.

Remember, there is only gold on those you can see gold traces and it takes 2400 pieces for one gramm gold. If they aren't collected by kind in safe boxes and if they are just mixed with and thrown to the other waste, - let it be. It is not worth the risk.

Hi!
Thanks for the warnings! I'll be very careful! My idea is to take each container and immerse them in a steel drum with a wood fire under it and bring it to an extended boil. Before attempting to screen out the test strips. Or just incinerate the contents of each container as I remove it from the boxes. any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks again. artart47

Incineration is your only safe option, even then I feel you might be in some danger of contamination of what you breath. I know you are really wanting to tackle this project but I feel strongly it is one you should walk away from.
