If purchasing from them, a friendly staff will guarantee satisfaction whether shipping locally or worldwide. If the need is sell your inventory or surplus equipment you can be assured of an on site cost effective offer and arrangement of shipping. They will buy as-is with no warranties needed.

Moving into the area of xray recycling and silver extraction was a natural step forward. Involvement as a silver recycler required them to develop the process of collection, shredding, washing, drying and extraction of minute amounts of silver. With recent increases in silver prices this has proven to give scrap metal recycling a new meaning. It is now a refining process and x-ray film recycling can produce up to 12 grams of silver for every kilogram of x-ray film.

In order to assure proper x-ray recycling, federal guidelines have been established by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, HIPAA, which assures protection of personal health information. These guidelines are strictly adhered to.
