Are you currently handling your waste amalgam in accordance with all EPA and State of Idaho hazardous waste regulations?

Although mercury in the form of dental amalgam is very stable, amalgam should not be disposed of in the garbage, infectious waste “red bags”, or sharps containers.

The following are types of amalgam waste that must be managed in accordance with all EPA and State of Idaho Hazardous Waste regulations:

• Non-contact amalgam (scrap)
• contact amalgam
• amalgam restorations
• carving scrap collected at chair side
• amalgam captured by chair side traps
• filters or screens
• vacuum pump filters
• amalgam sludge
• empty capsules
