Solmetex 5 Gallon Amalgam Bucket PWS-AB-5

PRACTICE WASTE SOLUTIONS AMALGAM BUCKETS

For the responsible disposal of dental amalgam waste as required by the E.P.A.

Amalgam waste is found within the dental practice. Even if a dental practice claims to be amalgam free, composite only, they can still generate waste amalgam from removed teeth and from chairside and vacuum pump traps. Solmetex provides a DOT/EPA approved storage and shipping container with prepaid return shipping and certificate of recycling.

Amalgam Buckets are for the recycling of chair-side traps, leftover or spent amalgam, removed teeth with amalgam fillings, empty amalgam capsules, and vacuum trap containers located by the vacuum pump. All of these contain amalgam residue.

Why does your office need the Practice Waste Solutions Amalgam Bucket?
