What is X-Ray Shredding?

This process protects confidential patient information, ensures compliance with healthcare data protection laws, and supports environmentally responsible disposal.

Similar to confidential paper documents, medical X-rays contain sensitive personal data. They also include chemical compounds such as silver that must not be disposed of in general waste.

Is X-Ray Shredding GDPR Compliant?

Yes, X-ray shredding and destruction with DGD Shredding & Technology is fully GDPR compliant. X-rays are considered personal data under GDPR because they contain patient information such as names, dates of birth, and medical history. Simply throwing them away, storing them indefinitely, or recycling them without destruction can expose sensitive information and lead to a serious data breach.

FAQs about X-Ray Shredding

Can I just throw old X-rays in the bin?

Throwing X-rays in general waste puts you at risk of a data breach because they contain personal identifiers such as names and medical details. They also contain silver compounds and other chemicals that are harmful to the environment if not processed properly.

Who uses X-ray shredding services?

Hospitals, clinics, dentists, laboratories, pharmacies, and even individuals with old X-rays at home all require secure X-ray disposal to protect confidentiality and comply with regulations.

How long should X-rays be kept before shredding?

Retention times vary depending on medical regulations and GDPR requirements. Once the legal retention period has passed, X-rays must be securely destroyed to protect sensitive data.

DGD Shredding & Technology has in-house specialists who can advise further on GDPR and retention periods.

Do you provide nationwide X-ray shredding in Ireland?

Yes. DGD Shredding & Technology provides secure collection and destruction services across Ireland, ensuring healthcare providers and individuals can access compliant X-ray disposal no matter where they are based.

Will I get proof that my X-rays have been destroyed?

Yes. After every X-ray shredding job, DGD Shredding & Technology issues a Certificate of Destruction as proof that the material has been securely and legally destroyed.

Are the shredded X-rays recycled?

Yes. Once shredded, X-ray material is processed and recycled in an environmentally responsible way, reducing waste and preventing harmful chemicals from entering landfill.
