The Industry Standard
for X-Ray Film Recycling

In a market full of generalist recyclers, X Ray Film Disposal is the only company that has built its entire operation around x-ray film and radiographic materials. This focus means deeper expertise, better compliance, and higher silver recovery for our clients.

HIPAA Compliance Experts

We are not a general recycler — we are x-ray film specialists with deep expertise in healthcare privacy law. Our processes, documentation, and staff are fully trained and audited for HIPAA compliance.

True Nationwide Service

With our own logistics fleet and regional partners, we service all 50 states including remote locations. Most clients receive service within 3–5 business days of scheduling.

Maximize Silver Recovery

X-ray film contains valuable silver halide. Our precision recovery process extracts maximum value and returns payment directly to your organization — often offsetting the cost of recycling entirely.

Legal Documentation

Every job generates a legally-binding Certificate of Destruction that satisfies HIPAA audit requirements, joint commission standards, and state privacy regulations.

35+ Years Experience

Founded in 1989, we have recycled more x-ray film than any other company in the United States. Our expertise spans medical, dental, veterinary, industrial, and specialty film types.

Zero Landfill Policy

We maintain a strict zero-landfill policy. 100% of accepted materials are recycled, recovered, or safely processed. We are EPA registered and environmentally audited annually.

"Switching from a local shredding company to X Ray Film Disposal was one of the best operational decisions we've made. They are HIPAA specialists — not generalists. The pickup was fast, the documentation was thorough, and they actually paid us for the silver in our film. Five stars."

"Industrial NDT film disposal is a niche problem. Most recyclers don't understand our chain-of-custody requirements. X Ray Film Disposal's team was specifically trained on pipeline and structural inspection film, and their documentation met all our client and regulatory requirements. Outstanding."
