reclaimation

in THE MAIN WALL
it will probably be r-22 and r-134a but could be anything. I'm trying to work out a deal with a couple local recycling centers to reclaim refrigerant so they can scrap the metal. It is in the feasibility stage as of now. Im trying to figure out how much money I should charge and if I can make anything back on the refrigerant.

    Do you know of any places that will purchase reclaimed refrigerant? Do they make cheap tools that test reclaimed refrigerant for purity that are inexpensive? If they don't purchase reclaimed refrigerant what places accept it for free?

    check with local supply houses. Some around here are paying for R22, but it can not be mixed or they charge big time.

    Supply houses

    Check with the local refrigerant supply houses. We have one in our area that recently started purchasing R22, has to be ONLY R22, burn out is ok. We just drop off the cylinder, they test it, evacuate the cylinder and we pick it, and the $ up next time we're by there. If there is a mix in the cylinder though they charge us to dispose of it.
