EPA / Section 609 Certification

Refrigerants like R-22 (Freon), R-410A, and others contain chemicals (CFCs, HCFCs, or HFCs) that can hurt the ozone layer or contribute to global warming. Improper disposal is illegal and environmentally damaging.

1. Follow EPA Guidelines

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act regulates the handling and disposal of refrigerants.

Key Requirements:

Only EPA-certified technicians can recover refrigerants.

Refrigerant must be recovered before equipment disposal or servicing.

It is illegal to vent refrigerants into the atmosphere.

2. Equipment Recovery

Before removing or scrapping an HVAC unit or appliance (e.g., refrigerator, freezer, AC unit):

Use an EPA-certified refrigerant recovery machine.

Capture and store the refrigerant in an EPA-approved recovery cylinder.

Label the container with the type of refrigerant.

3. Recycling or Disposal

After recovery:

Refrigerant can be reclaimed by a certified reclaimer for reuse.

If contaminated or not reusable, it must be sent to a hazardous waste disposal facility.

4. Appliance Disposal Rules

For appliances (residential or commercial) like refrigerators, freezers, or window AC units:

Small appliances still require recovery by a technician or drop-off at a facility that participates in a refrigerant recovery program.
