Premier Instrument Recycling

PLEASE NOTE: Only stainless steels instruments can be recycled. Instruments having resin handles with stainless steel working ends will be accepted. Hinged instruments or instruments made entirely of resin/plastic will not be accepted. For the safety of all package handlers, ALL returned instruments must be heat sterilized and clean of debris prior to shipping. The instruments should be returned in an unopened sterilized bag and placed in bundles of 10 for hand instruments or bundles of 6 for ultrasonic inserts. The packaging should be sturdy enough to keep the instruments from possibly poking through.

Premier has the right to change or cancel the program at any time.
