Specialized Destruction for Imaging Records & Film-Based Materials

Not all sensitive documents come on paper. X-rays, Mylar sheets, and other film-based records require unique handling to ensure secure destruction, environmental responsibility, and full HIPAA compliance. That’s where we come in.

At Seattle Shredding Services, we provide professional X-ray and Mylar shredding for medical practices, imaging centers, dental offices, and businesses across Western Washington. Our process is designed to protect patient privacy, comply with all regulations, and responsibly recycle non-paper materials.

Why X-Rays and Mylar Can’t Be Shredded Like Paper

Standard shredding equipment isn’t built to handle the unique composition of imaging films. Here’s why these materials need special treatment:

• Plastic-Based Film – Mylar and X-ray film don’t break down like paper.
• Silver Content in X-Rays – These films contain silver that must be processed through approved reclamation channels.
• Coatings & Laminates – Specialized materials require separate destruction methods to prevent contamination or equipment damage.

Mixing these materials with paper can cause environmental issues and damage shredding equipment. Our dedicated X-ray shredding process keeps everything secure, legal, and green.
