We are the only EPA 608 certified refrigerant recovery facility in Western Mass. That means the refrigerant comes out before anything else happens.
Window units, dehumidifiers, and small commercial AC travel upright with their refrigerant charge sealed. We never crush a charged unit.
A certified technician recovers the refrigerant per 40 CFR Part 82 using calibrated recovery equipment. Recovery is logged per unit.
Recovered refrigerant is shipped to a licensed reclaimer to be cleaned and re-sold or destroyed. None of it vents to atmosphere.
The compressor is cut out and drained of oil. Oil goes to a used-oil recycler; the compressor casing joins the steel stream.
Copper and aluminum coils are cut, sorted, and sold as clean scrap. The high recovery rate is why we never let units get crushed first.
Housing, fans, and chassis are sorted by material and recycled. The fiberglass insulation is captured and routed separately.
Property managers and commercial customers can request a per-unit recovery certificate for compliance records.
Because of the refrigerant. Venting refrigerant is illegal under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act, so the charge must be recovered by a certified technician before the unit is crushed or scrapped. We are the only EPA 608 certified refrigerant recovery facility in Western Mass.

A certified technician recovers it per 40 CFR Part 82 using calibrated equipment, and every recovery is logged per unit. The refrigerant then ships to a licensed reclaimer to be cleaned and re-sold or destroyed. None of it vents to the atmosphere.
