X-ray film recycling in San Jose, CA.

We pick up X-Rays for recycling in San Jose and anywhere in the San Jose–Sunnyvale–Santa Clara Metro Area.

We pay you by the pound for the X-rays, and provide you with a HIPAA-compliant certificate of destruction for the X-rays we collect. Our X-ray silver recovery process is 100% eco-friendly, and we are registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
