Refrigerant
Freon must be properly removed from any appliance containing refrigerant. A list of HVAC companies can be found in the Yellow Pages or contact your community.
Air conditioning units, freezers and dehumidifiers contain coolant. Homeowners must hire a HVAC technician or Freon removal service before recycling an appliance with refrigerant or coolant.
Refrigerant gas, welding tanks and medical cylinders should be disposed or recycled through the company it was purchased or received from. Contact the company where you made the purchase or search for a list by zip code in the Yellow Pages.
Tanks of refrigerant are not typically found in a household and are not accepted in the Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Program.
Waste from Businesses or Commercial Properties
There are different rules for disposal of hazardous wastes from a business, including refrigerant. Businesses must contract with a licensed company for proper disposal or recycling. See the Business Locations list below for options.
