X-Rays

Special Instructions

X-Rays are not accepted in the County Household Hazardous Waste Program and cannot go in either the garbage or recycling cart.  To find a disposal site, visit the State’s “Where to Recycle” site.   

Don't Place in Trash

X-ray film is coated in silver and PET plastic, which can leach into waterways if placed in a landfill. Silver is known to damage the skin, lungs, and eyes. X-ray film also contains personal information that you might want to keep private, so do not place X-rays in the trash.
