Worcester, MA is an old town. As part of the beginning of the industrial revolution in the early 1800s, it has had major manufacturing plants for over 200 years. Naturally, with a history that long, there has been extensive population growth and with that comes medical and dental visits. With each of those comes xrays and the production and release of the silver iodide crystals that form those xray images. Herein lies a problem: silver is toxic to humans so what happens to the film and the left over silver? Does it spill out into the lakes and rivers of the town to poison the population? Well, that is where we come into the picture so to speak. We are Industrial Surplus Inc., a major xray recycling firm.
Industrial Surplus Inc. specializes in silver recovery from x-ray film and xray film recycling. We are experts in the field so xray recovery companies know us well and respect us because they know their work of recovery will not be wasted with poor recycling methods. We are a major silver recycler so recycling dental xray film is a specialty for us. However, we also purposely focus on NDT film as it cannot be destroyed. It, therefore, must be handled with extreme care to avoid environmental contamination.
Since our business is recycling, we also recycle scrap metal. As such, we are a major scrap metal buyer and therefore pay the best scrap metal prices in the area. But, as noted above, our main focus other than profit is care of the land. We are very environmentally focused and, since disposing of xray film is illegal due to its toxicity, we employ the most advanced methods of recovery and recyclying when it comes to dental xray film or medical xray film. For that reason alone, all major recovery companies call us first.
