X-ray and Mylar Shredding



X-Ray & Mylar Shredding – Secure, Compliant, and Eco-Friendly

Not everything can go in a standard paper shredder—including X-rays and Mylar films. These materials require special handling and separate destruction processes to ensure security, compliance, and environmental responsibility.

At Liberty Shredding, we offer specialized X-ray and Mylar shredding services for hospitals, medical offices, dental practices, and businesses that handle sensitive imaging records. Our process ensures your materials are properly destroyed, protecting patient and client privacy while maintaining compliance with HIPAA and other regulations.

Why X-Rays & Mylar Need Special Shredding

Unlike regular paper, X-rays and Mylar film contain materials that can’t be shredded with standard documents, including:

Plastic-based film that won’t break down like paper

x-ray of teeth

Silver content in X-rays, which requires special disposal methods

xrays

Non-paper coatings and laminates that must be processed separately

Mixing these materials with regular paper shredding can cause contamination and damage shredding equipment. That’s why we shred them separately using industry-approved destruction methods.

How It Works

1. Secure Collection

We provide locked bins and secure transportation to keep your X-rays and Mylar documents protected until destruction.

2. Shredding Process

Your materials are shredded separately from paper to ensure proper handling and compliance.

3. Certified Destruction

After shredding, we provide a Certificate of Destruction, ensuring you meet legal and regulatory requirements.

4. Responsible Recycling

Once shredded, X-ray films are processed for silver recovery, and Mylar is recycled through approved channels, ensuring an eco-friendly disposal solution.
