Ethical Waste

We use two different companies to dispose of our waste in an acceptable manner.

  1. Green Check Canada picks up our sharps waste every three months.
  2. DRNA provides us with a new amalgam separator every year. We send them the old one and they recycle and dispose of the waste according to Canadian law. As of this year all dental offices will be required to have an amalgam separator; we have had ours in place for at least the past five years.
