Disposing of Dental Waste the Right Way

Anyone in the dental industry knows that there is a unique set of waste management issues that come along with the territory.

From amalgam waste to gypsum moulds, it’s important to have a plan in place for disposing of all dental waste properly.

Not only is it good for the environment, but it’s also the law.

Amalgam Waste

Amalgam waste is unique to dental surgeries and is a combination of mercury and a metal alloy that is used to treat cavities.

Mercury is hazardous so needs to be appropriately disposed of in a suitable amalgam container.

Envirotec offers specialized containers for the safe disposal of all amalgam waste.

Dentists also need an appropriate dental sharps disposal process in place.

Sharps include any items that could puncture or cut skin, such as needles, scissors, and scalpel blades.

It’s important to have a dedicated container for sharps waste so that there is no risk of injury when disposing of them.

Envirotec can provide you with the right sharps containers for your needs as well as pick up and dispose of them according to regulations.

Gypsum moulds that are used in many dental procedures produce toxic gas if placed in landfill.

This means that they must be disposed of through specialised channels.
