https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/non-clinical-questions/30724/how-do-you-dispose-of-old-xray-films Just wondering if anyone knows what the rules are around disposal of old xray films (aside from GDPR). Are they viewed as hazardous waste or can they go in the bin? I only have a couple to dispose of so not sure it&#39;s worth looking into recycling plasticen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/241983?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 25 Jul 2023 09:59:27 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:de117101-6340-445d-a316-861eb04fd28fjoanne mcallister<p>Many thanks Mellora!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/241982?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 25 Jul 2023 08:52:19 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:23f1fc29-bc26-413e-bed8-99536c33114bMellora Sharman<p>Hi Joanne,</p> <p>To my knowledge, there are no hazardous waste requirements with radiograph disposal.&nbsp;<br /><br />However it might be considered ideal, even if only a couple of radiographs, to ensure disposal in environmentally friendly way that also ensures data protection.<br /><br />You&#39;re probably aware of recycling / shredding options already, but otherwise here are a couple of links.<br /><br /><a target='_blank' href="https://www.shredit.co.uk/en-gb/resource-centre/brochures/x-ray-film-destruction-x-ray-disposal">https://www.shredit.co.uk/en-gb/resource-centre/brochures/x-ray-film-destruction-x-ray-disposal</a><br /><br /><a target='_blank' href="https://www.veolia.co.uk/services/x-ray-recycling">https://www.veolia.co.uk/services/x-ray-recycling</a><br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Mellora&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
