Medical X-Ray Film Recycling and HIPAA-Compliant Pickup
We buy qualifying diagnostic radiographs from hospitals, imaging departments, clinics and medical archives. We take film in jackets and handle removal, sorting, boxing and lifting as part of the agreed pickup.

What medical radiographic film can be reviewed?
Tell us about conventional silver-bearing radiology film from diagnostic imaging and records storage. Lots may include general radiographs, mammography film, older CT or other imaging images printed to film, unexposed or expired film stock, and mixed archive formats. Acceptance depends on the actual film material and condition; digital images, discs and paper charts are not film.
Film in patient jackets is accepted. Keep the archive in its secure storage location until pickup; our crew sorts and separates the agreed film onsite. Your staff does not need to remove each image, make special boxes or carry the load.
HIPAA-compliant medical X-ray film destruction
We follow HIPAA-compliant handling and destruction procedures for accepted healthcare film. Before arranging pickup, have an authorized records or privacy contact confirm which film is eligible for destruction and discuss safeguards, any business associate agreement your organization requires, and the available destruction record.
Our HIPAA-compliant handling and secure destruction workflow covers film with patient names, images and identifiers. For process details, visit our healthcare privacy and destruction page.
Medical X-ray film recycling questions
Do you buy old medical X-rays from hospitals?
Yes, we review qualifying silver-bearing medical radiographs and arrange pickup for clinics and facilities. Share the city, approximate amount and film format so we can confirm the load.
Can you take mammography or CT images printed on film?
Describe the actual film and how it is stored. We can review conventional images printed on silver-bearing film; digital files or dry-print media may require separate confirmation.
Will you pick up films with names or patient IDs?
We coordinate HIPAA-compliant handling and destruction for accepted healthcare film. Your authorized privacy lead should confirm release and any required agreement or destruction documentation before pickup.
Does our staff have to remove film from jackets?
No. We take film in jackets and handle sorting and separation during the agreed pickup.
