Freon (a brand name we use to mean all refrigerants) is found in air conditioners, dehumidifiers, refrigerators, and freezers. By law, Freon and other chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) cannot be released into the atmosphere but must be removed with special equipment. These gases destroy the ozone in the atmosphere, leaving the Earth vulnerable to higher levels of solar radiation. Please take your old refrigerator, freezer, dehumidifier, or air conditioner to your transfer station, where the Freon will be properly removed. You will be charged a fee to cover the cost of the Freon removal.

 

BE CAREFUL not to puncture the tubes of the appliance and emit the gases into the atmosphere.
