Your organization is responsible for its own privacy, record-retention, destruction, and industry rules. Before pickup, we can discuss the film type, approved access, packaging, transport, chain-of-custody needs, and available project records.
Documentation: Ask what can be included and confirm it in writing before pickup. AG Refining does not make a blanket HIPAA or legal-compliance guarantee.

What X-ray film do you recycle?
We review qualifying traditional medical, dental, industrial radiographic, and NDT film. Digital images are not silver-bearing film.

Your organization must confirm its own privacy and record-retention duties. We discuss handling, chain-of-custody needs, and available documentation before pickup, but do not make a blanket compliance guarantee.
Can I upload patient X-rays?
No. Do not upload or email patient names, record numbers, birth dates, or readable patient images.
Do you provide destruction records?
Ask what documentation is available for your project and confirm it in writing before pickup.
Do you offer free pickup?
Free pickup may be available for qualifying commercial projects after the film, quantity, location, security needs, and schedule are reviewed.
