Freon
This material is hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly. This item cannot be placed with your waste for pickup.
Federal law mandates that refrigerants be recovered and recycled. Appliances that contain refrigerants include refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, water coolers and dehumidifiers. The law stipulates that the refrigerants must be recovered before the unit is disposed because CFCs released into the atmosphere can deplete the ozone.
During the 1990s, the US Congress passed a law banning the use of CFC's in new products and more environmentally friendly hydrofluorocarbons were developed for use as refrigerants.
Reuse
Currently, there is no reuse option available for this item.
Recycle
You must have the Freon removed by a licensed technician. Once the Freon is removed and a label is affixed to the appliance, the appliance can be considered scrap metal.
