How should X-ray fixer and developer be disposed of?

Used fixer and developer are hazardous waste and must not be poured down the drain. They should be stored in separate, labelled, sealed containers and collected by a hazardous waste carrier. Fixer contains silver, which is usually recovered. If you have switched to digital imaging, any leftover chemicals and old processors can be collected in one visit.

What to have ready for your Preston quote

  • Confirm you will get the correct consignment or transfer note for each collection
  • Check when your pre-acceptance audit is due and whether the contractor will help
  • Plan a one-off collection for any old chemicals, expired stock or stored models
  • List every waste stream you produce, including amalgam, sharps, infectious, offensive, X-ray chemicals, lead foils, medicines and gypsum
  • Count your surgeries and estimate how quickly each type of container fills
