Dental waste disposal in Durham

Anyone living or working in Durham will know the place well: Durham is a small historic cathedral city on a loop of the River Wear, dominated by its World Heritage cathedral and castle and by a large collegiate university and student population. We cover all of it, from Elvet and Pity Me.

From first enquiry to finished job, we make dental waste disposal in Durham simple: one point of contact, one fixed price and people who arrive when they say they will.

Dental practices in Durham are set up with separate containers for amalgam, sharps, infectious and offensive waste, so each stream goes to the right treatment route.

Many Durham practices find that moving gloves, bibs and masks into tiger bags lowers their clinical waste costs without any loss of compliance.

How should X-ray fixer and developer be disposed of?

Used fixer and developer are hazardous waste and must not be poured down the drain. They should be stored in separate, labelled, sealed containers and collected by a hazardous waste carrier. Fixer contains silver, which is usually recovered. If you have switched to digital imaging, any leftover chemicals and old processors can be collected in one visit.
