<VV> How to dispose of old R-12

[Bob Tarpenning]

I don't know why I bothered to answer, my answers never get posted but I'll
try again.  I bought a case of R-12 last summer at a swap meet for $15.00 a
can.  I passed on a 30# drum with about 25# still in it for $ 150.00.

Subject: <VV> How to dispose of old R-12

The recent threads on refrigerant has brought up an old question: how to
deal with old cans of R-12. In my mother's garage there were several 14 oz
cans of R-12. No one in my family has a car that uses R-12 anymore. (My
Corvair doesn't have A/C). 

 

So what's the best way to deal with this stuff? We considered selling on
eBay but couldn't confirm how to deal with the EPA certification issues. As
a casual seller, do I have to deal with EPA's paper trail? It looked like
eBay seemed to require the certification for buyers. Don't know what's
required of a seller. I haven't been able to tell if the EPA is going to
kick down my door and demand documentation. (And then cite me for wasting
energy by not having a door.)

 

Is there a proper procedure?

 

And what's a fair price? I've been told that R-12 is virtually worthless now
that there are substitutes.
