Effective Disposal of Healthcare and Medical Devices is Crucial.
Healthcare facilities need to upgrade their technology and medical electronics regularly. Recycling these devices is important because they contain harmful materials and sensitive information. If not disposed of properly, they can harm public health and the environment. It’s crucial to follow regulations for documenting and protecting data when disposing of them.
Medical Equipment for Healthcare Clinics, Surgical Facilities, and Imaging Centers
— Computed Tomography (CT) Scans, also known as CAT scans, use X-rays to create detailed body images. Incorrectly getting rid of CT scans, which have iodine-based and barium-sulfate substances, can be harmful to people and the environment.
— Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technique that visualizes soft tissues without radiation. Mismanaging MRI machine disposal can harm the environment because they contain gadolinium, a toxic rare earth element.
— Ultrasound imaging employs high-frequency sound waves to create visual representations of bodily tissues. When your ultrasound machine is no longer in use, trust us to recycle it responsibly.
Modern Waste Solutions offers secure and responsible medical equipment recycling services.
Laboratory Equipment
The medical testing field produces a lot of electronic waste because it requires a variety of equipment for testing different illnesses, diseases, and drugs. As technology advances quickly, these tools become outdated, making disposal tricky. Specialized lab technology makes electronic disposal more complicated, and some equipment’s size and weight make recycling even more challenging. Modern Waste Solutions provides responsible laboratory equipment recycling services, managing the disposal and recycling process efficiently and responsibly.
MedSpa Equipment
As advancements in facial rejuvenation and fat removal technology continue, many patients rely on medical spas to keep up with industry trends by regularly upgrading their equipment. Properly disposing of such equipment requires special attention.

Eye Care Equipment
Ophthalmologists thoroughly examine various parts of the eye to identify signs of illness, using a range of equipment to assess different eye structures. Handling the disposal of complex equipment in your eye care practice doesn’t have to be challenging. Modern Waste Solutions specializes in secure and environmentally friendly destruction of records, data, and x-ray films, along with responsible ophthalmologist equipment recycling.
Ensuring the Security of Medical Data is Vital.
Keeping patient information safe is a no-brainer in healthcare. Healthcare workers must follow strict rules to protect patient data. They need to safeguard electronic health records, patient IDs, and payment details. Below are some of the regulations that healthcare institutions must follow.
— Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act
— Patriot Act of 2002
— Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH)
— Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
— PCI Data Security Standard
— FACTA Disposal Rule
— Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
— Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Healthcare institutions need to dispose of old technology properly while following HIPAA rules for destroying data. We specialize in providing secure recycling and asset liquidation services tailored to healthcare needs, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Secure Data Destruction and Recycling of X-Ray Films
We follow a specific method for x-ray film recycling and data destruction. When we collect the films, we carefully remove them from their paper envelopes and crush them into smaller pieces. Next, we separate the silver nitrate from the x-ray and plastic using a washing technique. Our main focus is on maintaining confidentiality and following HIPAA rules to protect patient privacy and uphold your brand’s trust.
