How I Finally Got Rid of Old X-Rays (Legally!)

Ever stared at a pile of old X-rays and wondered if you could just toss them? I did—until I learned it’s actually illegal (and not eco-friendly) to trash them! 💡 First, ask your doctor if you need to keep any for medical or legal reasons. If not, see if they’ll recycle them for you. ✅ Hospitals and radiology clinics often accept X-rays for proper disposal. Just call ahead—they might need you to drop them off or mail them. 🔔 Some local councils or recycling companies will take them, sometimes even paying you! Make sure you get a certificate of destruction for peace of mind. ⚠️ Want to get crafty? Snip off any personal info and use the film for art projects or donate to schools for science classes! #EcoFriendly #LifeHacks #Declutter #Health #Wellness
