Before disposing of old x-ray machines be sure to verify the capacitors and transformers are free of PCB’s.

Hello All

If beryllium is in the powder form it is classified as hazardous waste and it should be disposed as hazardous waste. Since it is in a tube it should be disposed as hazardous waste as one disposes hazardous chemicals etc. 

all the best
