Scrap x-rays and Dentists
Thought I would share some info.
Medical/dental offices by the year 2014 will be required to be fully digital. Because of this offices are in scramble mode to scan and digitize charts. Lately, companies that destroy sensitive data are not allowing x-rays to be included for shred as it contaminates the paper.
I had a dental office literally give me boxes of their old x-rays. Only thing I had to promise was that they were going to be destroyed. After removing the paper and plastic mounts it added up to about 80 pounds worth. For security sake I ran the x-rays through my paper shredder and gave the office a picture of the shredded mess. Took it to a yard in Clermont Florida that paid 2 bucks a pound.
Happy scrapping!
Cheers,
Tom
