- Heavy-Duty 3.5-Gallon Vault:
- Built with high-capacity, heavy-molded plastic to accommodate busy dental clinics or multi-chair practices without requiring frequent replacements
- Red Button Safety Lock:
- Features a unique lid assembly with a red locking mechanism. Users press down on the tab and twist counterclockwise to open, ensuring a vapor-tight seal when closed
- Spill-Proof Protective Liner:
- Packed with a thick inner plastic bag liner that works as a secondary containment layer to stop fine particulate spills or moisture leakage
- Pre-Paid Shipping & All-In-One Box:
- Arrives inside its own designated return carton with a pre-paid FedEx return shipping label already assigned to the kit
Benefits
- Full Regulatory Compliance:
- Fully meets the American Dental Association (ADA) Best Management Practices and complies with ANSI 109 protocols. This protects your practice from heavy state and federal EPA environmental fines
- Hassle-Free Processing:
- Eliminates complex chemical handling or local waste authority tracking. When full, you simply tie the inner liner, lock the lid, tape the original box, and hand it to your regular FedEx driver
- Legal Disposal Tracking:
- Once processed at the Anterior Quest Amalgam Recycling Facility, the office is issued certified legal documentation verifying proper environmental recycling
- Cost-Efficient Workflow:
- Avoids recurring haul-away or pick-up surcharges, as the overall purchase price covers the container, the secondary liner, processing fees, and round-trip logistics
