    Thankyou Frank G, Michael M and Peter R for your comments, 

    Something I forgot to mention, our factory is in Bali, Indonesia. I
    doubt if it would be worth shipping the dust to the US where the
    established refiners are situated, and then shipping the refined
    metal back through our less than accommodating Customs. Currently we
    refine our trees, buttons and floor rejects at Logam Mulia the
    largest refiner in Indonesia) but when we sent them our polish dust,
    they refused to process it as is. Thus my conundrum! Any other ideas? 

    ORIGINAL POST: 

    I am wondering if anyone recycles, or knows how to recover, silver or
    gold from polish dust to reclaim lost metal? Our local refiner
    doesn't want to process the raw dust. Is there some process that can
    be done to refine the raw dust so our refiner will process it? I have
    maybe 30-40 investment drums full of raw polish dust. Anyone? 

Cheers,
Marcus Terrey
