Re: freon removal
The good ole EPA says NO. But alot of people do it anyway. A shop will be glad to take your freon, Charge you, The resell it to someone else! Talk about a profit margin.
Section 608 of the Clean Air Act prohibits releasing CFC-12 into the atmosphere. The prohibition on venting CFC-12 has been in effect since 1992.
Section 608 of the Clean Air Act prohibits releasing HFC-134a into the atmosphere. The prohibition on venting HFC-134a has been in effect since November 1995.
Can I vent HFC-134a or other refrigerant substitutes?
No. Effective November 15, 1995, section 608 of the Clean Air Act prohibits individuals from knowingly venting substitutes for CFC and HCFC refrigerants during the maintenance, service, repair and disposal of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment. A fact sheet explains this prohibition in much more detail. Note: although this prohibition is part of Section 608 (stationary refrigeration and air conditioning equipment), it also applies to Section 609 (motor vehicle air conditioning).
