Dental Wastes

The Oregon Dental Association (ODA) developed best management practices for the management of dental wastes in collaboration with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and local jurisdictions such as Clean Water Services. This voluntary program encourages the recycling of mercury, amalgam, silver, and lead.
