Refrigerant - Disposal

Disposal

As of July 1, 1992 it is illegal in the United States to release refrigerants into the atmosphere (intentional or accidental). When refrigerants are removed they should be recycled to clean out any contaminants and return them to a usable condition. Refrigerants should never be mixed together outside of facilities licensed to do so for the purpose of producing blends. Some refrigerants must be managed as hazardous waste even if recycled, and special precautions are required for their transport, depending on the legislation of the country's government.
