Amalgam recycling

April 1, 1997
The Amalgaway Mail Disposal Service eliminates a dentist`s liabilities by recycling the mercury from amalgam. In packaging exceeding U.S. Postal Service requirements, contact amalgam and the disposable-amalgam traps are shipped to Amalgaway Inc., where 99.6 percent of the mercury is reclaimed through triple distillation. When doing routine evacuation-system maintenance, you simply place the used amalgam trap on the palm of a latex-gloved hand, pull the latex glove over the trap and dispose of it
