What to do with old x-rays?

Happy New Year everyone. I can't believe I haven't posted since October last year.
Amongst other things I've been getting my house ready to sell this year.
Today I tackled some miscellaneous stuff that was being stored in the linen closet. One was a very big pile of old x-rays. While I'm doing a lot of clearing out I'm trying to do it as environmentally friendly as I possibly can, so now what to do with these x-rays?
After a bit of googling I've found out a lot about X-rays that I never knew.
X-rays are perfect to recycle as they contain silver in the form of halides. X-ray films can be processed in a refinery in temperatures over 1,000 degrees Celsius. The silver is extracted and converted into a pure form of silver. The extracted silver is used to make jewellery, solid silver, silver plating of utensils and electrical components.
They can also be used by crafters to make templates for patchworkers, stencils and lots of other pieces of art by clever creatives.
So now what am I going to do with the heap I have?
I am going to keep a few to make some into stencils. The rest I am going to take to be recycled. I know in my area, Nillumbik Shire will accept them at the Recycle and Recovery Centre and they can also be taken to Evandale Farm for recycling.
It certainly is a great feeling knowing that when you need to dispose of something it can be recycled in some way.

On the new house front I'm in a holding pattern at the moment. There is now a fence up in front of my block while all the infrastructure is being put in place all over the estate. So with all this work progressing closer to my block I now have a hill where my house will be.

I have a hill !!

House Decision Made

My next decision was the house. I spent lots of time looking at the real estate websites getting a feel of what's available and where the prices sat. On one of my drives down to St. Leonards I drove around the area where a new housing estate was being built. After a bit more searching, I came to the conclusion that I could get a house and land package for a lot less than an established house. I realise there will be a lot more work setting up the outside but I wouldn't be buying someone else's problems (if any) and I could get exactly what I want. At 66 I'm way past the whole renovation/repair thing. So, then I started looking at the house/land packages which was huge. 

At the beginning of this whole process I had decided to really listen to my intuition. 

So as soon as I saw the one, I knew that was the house for me. 

The house I chose is a Hotondo Home, so I contacted the company and set up meeting with Richard Barton the salesman. Prior to the meeting I did a lot of surfing the web checking all the feedback people had given on Hotondo Homes. I probably read in excess of 50 feedback notes and out of that there were only two negative ones. So, I thought that was a pretty good track record. So, I have now started on this journey, I was/am pretty much just travelling blindly at that moment.
