Hg5® Collection Container Return and Recycle Program
- Dentist, SolmeteX®, and MWSI can track all collection containers through the recycling process.
- Lower cost of the program versus waste hauling
- Dentist
places an order for a replacement collection container with recycle kit (hg5-002CR) by calling
their dental distributor. Note: Do not discard packaging! It is required for return shipment!
- SolmeteX®, who maintains an inventory of Hg5®collection containers, ships the replacement collection container directly to the dentist.
- Each replacement collection container is packaged in a reusable box with all materials necessary for return shipment to Mercury Waste Solutions, Inc. (MWSI) for recycle, including a UPS PRP (Package Return Program) shipping label.
- Upon
shipment of the replacement collection container from
SolmeteX®, the UPS tracking number is linked to the
dental office and allows the package to be tracked
using the UPS tracking system.
- The dentist, upon receipt of the replacement collection container, replaces the spent collection container with the new replacement collection container.
- The spent collection container is placed in the packaging that was used for delivery of the new replacement collection container.
- The dentist or service technician uses the “peel off” UPS PRP label for addressing the return delivery and calls UPS toll free number to arrange pick up of the spent collection container.
- UPS
picks up the spent collection container from the dentist to ship
to MWSI and tracking of the return shipment is initiated.
- MWSI
scans the collection container upon receipt from UPS to acknowledge
delivery at the recycling facility.
- MWSI
scans the spent collection container upon placement into recovery
furnace so the dentist's record can carry a “Recycled”
status for that collection container.
- Recycle certificates are issued to the dentist 60 days after collection container is recycled.
