Disposal of Equipment
 |
To dispose of an ionizing radiation producing machine the unit must be totally disabled, carefully removed, transported and disposed of in a manner which abides by and respects the standards set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In most cases it is highly recommended by state governments to contact a commercial x-ray company that is well trained, experienced and qualified for this task.
Certified for hauling and disposal, A Walsh Imaging's immensely skilled x-ray service technicians are properly trained in the disabling of the control (generator) and transformer. As well as the proper removal of the x-ray tube. They are not only knowledgeable on the installation of x-ray equipment, but the processes necessary to adequately use them. As well as how to relocate, transport, disable and disassemble them properly.
Before disposing of the unit, a "Disposed Machine Form" must be completed and signed. A Walsh Imaging will provide and assist you with the completion of this form and its submission to the proper department within your State government.
The machine will be transported to our facility where it will be properly disassembled. Parts capable and allowed by the EPA to be recycled are sent to a recycling center where they are processed accordingly for industrial or commercial reuse. Parts which are incapable and not allowed by the EPA to be recycled are discarded in a manner which allows for the disposal of them in accordance with regulations set forth by the EPA.
There may be a fee imposed for this service due to location, situation and model of the unit. Incorporation of this fee may possibly be included in the purchase and installation of new x-ray equipment by A Walsh Imaging. |
