(prHWY.com) December 4, 2011 - Grantham, NH -- Grantham, NH November 30, 2011 -- B & D Associates, the leading company in silver recycling and film recovery wants you to know that, with silver and other precious metals reaching near record highs during this time of financial uncertainty, the timing is ideal for healthcare companies and other industries using x-ray film to employ film recycling in order to recover the silver that can be found in the film's emulsion layers.
But silver, while valuable, is also considered toxic. Therefore, companies looking for silver recycling services must look for silver recycling firms or a medical waste disposal company that meets the certification standards of the National Association for Information and Destruction (NAID). NAID determines the best ways to safely engage in silver recycling. Silver recyclers you're considering should be happy to show you their NAID certification.
You should also ask for a written statement from any medical waste disposal company regarding their x-ray film disposal practices. Silver recyclers dealing with patient x-rays should also offer proof of HIPAA compliance to confirm patient confidentiality during the x-ray film recycling and destruction process.
When done properly and in accordance with certified practices, x-ray film recycling gives companies a chance to eliminate unneeded film to increase storage space, reduce administrative costs of keeping track of the old films, while also reducing the chance of theft by those seeking to profit from illegal silver recycling.
