Composites have taken the place of Mercury/Silver fillings for the most part, but not entirely. Envirodent accepts non-contact amalgam, excess amalgam never in the patients mouth. As is the case with our Mercury Reclamation Program we adhere to all regulations in proper handling and disposal. Best of all, we can pay you for the non-contact amalgam. Call for details.

 

Because lead has been linked to so many health and environmental concerns, EnviroDent has tried to make it as easy as possible for you to recycle lead foil instead of simply throwing  it out.  If we have a relationship with your practice, we will recycle it for you AT NO CHARGE.  If we are not yet working with you, we will still accept it---just pay for the shipping and we'll take care of the rest.

 

Elemental Mercury, which in most cases is a leftover from a time before composites, can be hazardous if left sitting around in your practice. Envirodent can handle the proper disposal of this Mercury. All processing & transportation is handled through licenced hazardous waste carriers and processed under EPA, OSHA & state agency guidelines. Call for pricing.

 

Chemgon® is a patented formula that converts hazardous, silver-laden x-ray and photo processing fluids into a non-hazardous solid, safe for disposal with regular trash.

Chemgon® solidifies, encapsulates, chelates, adsorbs, absorbs and binds processing chemicals through the application of coordination chemistry, converting your hazardous waste to a non-hazardous solid waste safe for regular trash disposal. Standard toxicity testing (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedures, TCLP) demonstrates that the Chemgon® treated waste tests well below the regulatory levels established by the EPA.  Chemgon® treated waste results in a non-hazardous, non-biodegradable polymer safe for regular trash disposal. 

Simply pour equal amounts of fixer and developer into the Chemgon® container. It can be filled over time, so staging or other storage is not required. Once full, tighten the lid and place in your regular trash. Equal parts of fixer and developer are required so that a neutral pH is achieved.
