Waste Management Services

There are five basic items of waste in the dental office; fixer, developer, medically contaminated waste/sharps, amalgam contaminated/hazardous waste and lead foil.

There is a sixth item, which, via good management practices, can be eliminated; cold sterilizer solutions containing aldehydes and phenols.

As dentists, we are responsible for all waste created "from cradle to grave". We can be held responsible for any damages, clean-up costs and worse; violations and penalties - always use a licensed and insured Waste Management Company!

For a detailed list of waste management guidelines and the names of licensed carters who will pick up all items (without contracts or monthly costs) please contact Health Compliance Team.
