Does the EPA require dental clinics to have amalgam separators?
The EPA has mandated that all existing dental practices have amalgam separators installed on dental engines by July 14, 2020 with all new dental practices installing them prior to seeing patients. Liability for mercury amalgam waste rests on the dental practice that generates the waste until you receive documentation from a licensed hazardous waste removal company that certifies it was disposed of properly.
