Outpatient centers and clinics depend on computers, servers, and hard drives to manage protected health information, making secure decommissioning essential to prevent unauthorized access to patient records. We ensure full adherence with environmental and data handling standards protocols.
We implement secure data destruction methods, including digital wiping and physical shredding, with comprehensive documentation, records of destruction, and chain-of-custody tracking for every asset. Each disposal project is executed in strict alignment with state and federal e-waste laws, and medical device handling regulations to ensure both regulatory adherence and operational integrity.
We ensure secure data destruction for the healthcare industry, protecting patient data while recycling medical, lab, and diagnostic devices. All items are destroyed to industry-specific security standards.

As imaging technologies advance, healthcare facilities face the critical task of safely and compliantly retiring outdated systems. The sections below outline proper recycling protocols for various types of imaging equipment to ensure environmental responsibility, regulatory adherence, and the secure handling of patient data.
X-ray machines and film demand specialized handling because of their hazardous components. Many units include leaded glass, heavy metals, and intricate circuitry that must be dismantled by accredited e-waste recyclers. Leaded parts and other toxic materials require sealed containment and expert procedures to prevent environmental harm. Although digital imaging is now standard, some facilities continue to use film-based X-rays coated with silver halide. This compound must be properly recovered prior to disposal to meet EPA and state environmental requirements.
CT scanners are sizable diagnostic systems composed of intricate electronics and high-voltage components. They include circuit boards, power supplies, cooling units, and shielded enclosures that must be carefully dismantled. Because many models store patient imaging data locally, secure data sanitization is essential during disposal. As newer imaging technologies become available, outdated CT systems must be recycled in full adherence with safety and environmental regulations to avoid landfill contamination and protect sensitive information.
Minimally invasive surgical equipment, including diagnostic scopes and robotic-assisted systems, contains sensitive electronics and specialized components that require careful handling at end-of-life. These devices are built with light sources, microcameras, circuit boards, and motorized assemblies that must be dismantled by accredited e-waste recyclers to ensure safety and audit readiness.
Scopes such as arthroscopes, endoscopes, and laparoscopes often feature embedded electronics and fiber optics that can be repurposed or recycled. Robotic surgery systems, used across multiple medical specialties, include advanced imaging modules, software, and precision motors. These units must be sanitized and securely decommissioned before processing. If patient data or usage logs are stored locally, secure data destruction is a necessary step prior to recycling.
We ensure proper sanitation, secure data handling, and compliant recycling for all minimally invasive surgical systems. We meet applicable regulatory standards and support sustainability through responsible parts recovery and reuse whenever possible.
