I have about 320 pounds of X-ray film. Do you pay per individual X-ray or per pound? From Jim in Chester, Virginia
Hi Jim,
Because we refine X-ray film by the truckload it would be nearly impossible to keep an accurate count of individual X-rays. The amount of silver in one X-ray is negligible. We pay per pound of X-ray film because it is more accurate and easier for us to track.
The amount returned can add up if you have large quantities of X-ray film, especially when silver is trading for more than $18 per troy ounce. You will need to send at least 300-400 pounds of X-ray film, removed from the paper jackets, to receive a payment and recover the shipping cost. We would recommend filling one or two 50 gallon drums of X-ray film and then shipping the film in the drums.
Please let us know if you have any more questions and don’t hesitate to give us a call. Thanks!
