JOIN OUR FREE VACBAG SWAP PROGRAM

Vacuum bags are an often overlooked source of additional revenue for many dental labs. Garfield Refining makes selling vac bags easy! We’ll provide you vac bags free of charge and then send new ones every time you run out, so you can easily replace the bags before you ship your materials to us. Dental scrap dust contained in vac bags can be very valuable, and we’ve worked with thousands of dental labs to ensure each lab gets the best payouts for the gold, silver, platinum, and palladium in the bags.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We love talking about refining at Garfield. Please feel free to email or call us directly with any questions. But as a starting point, some of these FAQs may help!

What makes Garfield a better option?

When it comes to Dental Labs, we’re experts. Garfield has been servicing dental labs and dental technicians for fifty years with over 8,000 satisfied clients in the industry. The combination of our optimal facility, assay technology, and experienced staff allow us to process, accurately evaluate and refine almost any material including: casting plates, grindings, flash, sprues, vacuum bags—even dental lab facility mats/full carpet.

What kind of dental scrap should I send?

We accept and refine most any dental lab material that contains gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Common items we receive and refine from dental labs and technicians include grindings/flash, sprues, buttons, casting plates, solder, vacuum bags, crown/bridge remakes, and carpet. If you are unsure if we’ll be able to process a certain precious-metal-containing material, feel free to give us a call at (800) 523-0968.

When should I sell my precious metal scrap?

Shipping and assaying are free, so it’s at your discretion how often you’d like to send materials to Garfield. Each batch of material is assayed and given a payment evaluation as soon as the material is processed. We offer a variety of payment options to accommodate your payment preference each and every time.

How long does it take to get my payment?

As soon as your shipment enters our facility, it begins processing. The assay timing will depend on the specific materials and volume being processed—we re-melt slag on mixed materials to ensure all metal is accounted for, which could take 2-5 days. Clean metals may be assayed in 24 hours. Once your assay is ready, you can choose from a variety of payment options with varying delivery speeds including: mailed checks, direct deposit, bullion exchange, and cash delivery. For more information on turnaround time, give us a call for an initial processing consultation tailored to your specific materials and payment preference.

Is my dental scrap safe?

Garfield takes the safety of your precious metals very seriously. When you ship with a Garfield-provided shipping label, we closely monitor the lifecycle of the shipment from the time you send it off through the time you receive your payment in-hand. The moment your package has arrived, we’ll send you a confirmation email alerting you that the precious metals have arrived at our facility. Every shipment that arrives is instantly bar-coded and linked to your account. If any inconsistencies appear with your materials upon arrival, we’ll call you immediately and before any processing occurs.

We track your materials from shipping to receiving the payment and fully insure each shipment for up to $50,000. And of course, you can call our customer service line at any time at (800) 523-0968 to get updated on the status of your shipment.

How will I know when Garfield receives my dental lab gold?

The moment your package has arrived, before we refine your materials, we’ll send you a confirmation email alerting you that your dental scrap has arrived at our facility. And of course, you can call our customer service line at any time at (800) 523-0968 to get updated on the status of your shipment.
