Preserving What is Precious

Experts In Our Field

Garfield Refining was at the vanguard of creating a business case for refining dental alloys, and remains the largest and most-celebrated refinery in the dental community. We serve hundreds of family-owned crematories across North America, and we are proud to have been voted the “Best Dental Scrap Refiner” by Dentaltown Magazine each year since 2011 – an honor unmatched by any other refinery.

We understand the importance of conserving precious metals, and responsible recycling of these materials is at the heart of what we do. Unlike others, we have a refinery onsite, allowing us to test and process precious metals right here in Philadelphia without sending them to a third-party for refinement.

“Garfield’s representatives have always been very responsive to our needs and provided us with very good technical assistance as wee developed our metal recovery program. With their help, we have been able to provide significant funding to a number of non-profit organizations. THANK YOU Garfield for all that you do for us!
