Recover Silver With Photographic Film Recycling

Arch Enterprises recovers silver from photographic film and photographic papers through recycling. We have the capability to handle large amounts of scrap silver-bearing films and silver-bearing photo papers. From full truck-loads to smaller amounts we can handle your material quickly and efficiently. Payment for your material will vary depending on the quantity, frequency and type of silver-bearing films or paper that you have. We recycle both used and virgin films and virgin silver-bearing photo papers.


We recover the silver from many types of films used in the photographic industry. Medical and industrial x-rays, lithographic films, black and white films, consumer films and professional films are all processed at our facility. The scrap films are treated and the silver is recovered. During the recycling process the film’s content (if any) is destroyed. We follow HIPPA procedures for all medical x-rays. In addition all of our silver recovery operations for film recycling are in compliance with local, state and federal regulations.


We offer quick payment and competitive refining terms to meet your company’s needs. Please let us know what type of scrap film you have, the quantity and frequency and we will be present you with a custom refining quote for your material.


Please call or email our friendly staff for more information and a custom photographic film recycling quote.
