Disposing of Contaminated Refrigerant

When it becomes necessary to dispose of contaminated refrigerant, the refrigerant should be stored in a suitable container as described in this bulletin, labeled to identify it clearly, and offered to a company equipped to handle the container and the contaminated refrigerant. Your dealership may already have a company to handle its toxic wastes, and perhaps this company can handle the refrigerant. If a company specializing in refrigerant reclaim is preferred, the EPA Hotline (1-800-296-1996) can provide a list of approved refrigerant reclaimers.
