Responsible E-Cycling for X-Ray Films
X-ray film users and processors often have a large number of films in storage that need proper disposal. X-ray film recycling is the ideal method to handle this material. Unlike other recyclable materials, x-ray films require special handling due to the presence of silver. Here are the top reasons why x-ray recycling should be your primary disposal choice:
- Safety: X-ray films contain silver, which requires expert removal by a specialized recycling firm.
- Confidentiality: The sensitive information captured in x-rays necessitates careful handling to maintain confidentiality agreements.
- Storage: Storing x-rays for an extended period occupies valuable space, which can be better utilized for other activities.
- Sustainability: Recycling x-rays reduces landfill debris and contributes to environmental conservation efforts.

The X-Ray Recycling Process
At DTG Recycle, we follow a unique process for the destruction and recycling of x-rays. As soon as the x-rays are collected from medical practitioners, we begin extracting the films from their paper envelopes, followed by crushing them into smaller fragments. The silver is then separated from the x-ray material and plastic using a specific cleaner. Even x-ray plastic can be recycled and repurposed for other uses.
Importance of Confidentiality
DTG Recycle prioritizes the confidentiality of our medical provider customers and their x-ray recycling. We understand the significance of adhering to HIPAA policies for protecting medical records. Our company is HIPAA compliant and certified to handle x-rays, ensuring that your patient trust and compliance are maintained.
