All About X-Ray Recycling & Why it’s So Essential

By
Have you been considering x-ray recycling? Harrisburg, Huntingdon Valley and other Pennsylvania offices can greatly benefit from these services. But why is X-ray recycling so important and why are so many businesses choosing this type of service? RDM has been a trusted X-ray recycling service for years now, and we’d like to take some time to talk about X-rays and why the recycling of them is so essential.


X-ray technology is such an ever-present part of 21st century life but the waste produced by it is abundant both for companies and institutions. As X-rays are the most common form of medical imaging today, recycling has been essential to their safe disposal. Many Pennsylvania area medical facilities worry about the safe, secure disposal of their x-ray materials.

At Resource Data Management, we handle X-ray recycling so that our community can continue to enjoy the many amazing benefits of this type of technology in a safe and efficient manner. Whether you have a large or small amount of X-rays, they need to be recycled rather than thrown in the trash. The main component of an X-ray film is PET plastic, and it is coated with silver, a rare earth mineral and the precious metal we are all familiar with. So, throwing away an X-ray means you are putting PET plastic and silver in the trash, which ultimately goes to a landfill. X-ray recycling is the right thing to do for proper disposal.

You can’t just stockpile your X-rays forever; they eventually need to be disposed of in an environmentally conscious, compliant way. At RDM, we provide several types of X-ray recycling services, including:

  • Scrap film recycling. We recycle film polyester base and reclaim all the available silver. All paper and envelopes are recycled.
  • Effluent treatment systems. Metallic exchange and drain monitor systems designed to achieve and maintain environmental compliance, along with recovering silvers.
  • Environmental services. Consulting, compliance surveys, composite sampling.
  • Silver recovery. Terminal systems and recirculation silver recovery with state-of-the-art equipment and unique systems to assure environmental compliance.
  • Aluminum recycling. Scrap aluminum plate removal and recycling.
  • Fire room services. Digital scanning, purges, relocations and tightening up files. 
  • And more
