Studios, printers, photographers and production companies may hold older film with recoverable silver. We identify and buy eligible motion-picture, lithographic, printing and graphic-arts materials.
Eligible negatives, printing film, lithographic film, photographic film and other clearly labeled silver-bearing specialty film.
How to prepare
Send clear photographs before moving the archive. Not every modern film or plastic sheet contains recoverable silver, so identification helps.
Call with the film type, approximate boxes or weight and pickup ZIP code. We will explain payment and scheduling.
We buy, pay and pick up
Our goal is simple: remove old film, recover its silver and make the cleanout easy for your staff. Larger California loads receive scheduled pickup, while small film amounts can use free mail-in service.
There is no need to separate medical, industrial, veterinary or specialty film before we arrive. X-Ray Film Recyclers handles the complete job using HIPAA-compliant procedures, including on-site handling, transportation, sorting, recycling and documented destruction.
Once the accepted film is collected and verified, we pay on the spot. There is no waiting for a check or later settlement.
You do not need to know the film manufacturer or silver percentage before calling. Photos of the film, boxes and labels are usually enough for us to begin identifying the material and planning the collection.
Our service covers film buying, on-the-spot payment, loading, transportation, HIPAA-compliant handling, sorting, silver recovery and free paper shredding. Call 951-822-6298 and tell us what is taking up space.
