    Gesswein sells recovery systems for the sinks and shoe scrubbers to
    clean the shoes and collect the dust. They are not the only source
    but they have several choices for sinks.  Also many larger companies
    have the staff wear work uniforms that never leave the premises,
    they launder them at the facility and capture the gold from the
    clothing in the wash water. They also employ metal detectors to
    control metal leaving in pockets etc.  It all depends on how much
    money you want to spend on recovery. You will have to do careful
    analysis of the metal that comes in to the plant and the metal that
    leaves as product and scrap to be able to see if you are making any
    progress in recovery efforts. If you don't track the metal carefully
    you will not know if your efforts are working or how cost effective
    they are.
