Regular flatbed for scanning slide and film? Not exactly ideal. It's best to get a dedicated film / slide scanner and a separate one for regular photos. You *can* get slide adapters (basically, "guides" that let you fit a bunch of film strips / slides) so you can lay them nice and flat on the scan window, and some Epson and HP's even come with them.
I'd recommend searching Epson's website for clerance on their refurb models, up to 50% off retail, full warranty.

Depending on the model you may be able to without modifications, but the quality will be poorer than from a dedicated scanner. If your purpose is to archive the negatives digitally I would suggest renting a film scanner from a pro photo supply. Hopefully the scanner will have digital dust removal, although that is usaully only available when scanning color negatives. Some people scan B&W negs as color slides - maybe this will help? Having a cheap minilab archive your memories is OK if that is your only option and you don't plan on printing large images from the small files. You get what you pay for whatever option you choose.
