INSTRUCTIONS

Air conditioners are Freon appliances; they contain refrigerant chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and halons, which are harmful to the ozone layer and are very powerful GHG. Freon appliances require special disposal; view our Safe Disposal of Freon Appliances Guide.

UCRRA accepts air conditioners. Our minimum load fee and a Freon Appliance charge will apply. Click here for UCRRA’s Fee Schedule.
