Nelson Refining understands the unique needs of the healthcare industry when it comes to responsible waste management, particularly for outdated medical X-ray films. For hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic labs, managing this type of specialized waste comes with several challenges, such as regulatory compliance, patient privacy, and environmental responsibility. Our medical X-ray recycling services are tailored to address these specific needs, providing a secure and sustainable solution for healthcare providers.


Patient data protection is a critical concern in X-ray waste disposal services. Nelson Refining adheres strictly to healthcare privacy regulations, including HIPAA, to securely manage all sensitive medical information. From secure collection to final processing, our services handle your materials with exceptional care to safeguard patient confidentiality. During the recycling process, patient data is completely destroyed, giving healthcare facilities peace of mind knowing their compliance obligations are met.


Recycling medical X-ray films also delivers significant environmental benefits. These films can contain silver and other materials that, if improperly disposed of, may harm the environment. Our silver recovery cartridge disposal and recycling process enables the safe recovery of this valuable material, reducing landfill waste and contributing to resource conservation. By recycling responsibly, healthcare providers can operate more sustainably and demonstrate their commitment to environmental stewardship.


Nelson Refining’s process is designed for efficiency and transparency. We begin with a reliable collection system to retrieve your X-ray films in a manner that minimizes disruption to your operations. Then, the films are processed through advanced methods that extract the silver and other recoverable materials while meeting all industry and environmental standards. After the recycling is complete, we’ll provide you with a certification of destruction, ensuring that all legal and regulatory requirements are documented and fulfilled.


With extensive experience serving the healthcare sector, Nelson Refining has built a reputation for reliability, professionalism, and environmental responsibility. We recognize the critical nature of managing medical waste and are committed to delivering services that meet both your operational and ethical standards. Partner with us for your medical X-ray recycling services and contribute to a more streamlined and safer future. Contact us today to schedule your custom recycling solution.
