Many of these appliances, such as window air conditioners, motor vehicle air conditioners, and refrigerators, rely on ozone-depleting refrigerants and their substitutes. Asthe owner or operator of a solid waste landfill or metal recycling facility, you need to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) regulations for the removal of refrigerants before you dispose of any appliances.  \nThis brochure describes the federal safe disposal requirements you must follow when your facility accepts an appliance that might contain refrigerants for disposal. You should also check with your local environmental agency to make sure that you comply with any local or state regulations as well when disposing of these appliances.  \nSafe Disposal Procedures for Household Appliances that Use Refrigerants  \nCommon refrigerants include ozone-depleting substances called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), which are also known by the trade name Freon® .  \nWhich Appliances You Need to Check Before Accepting for Disposal  \nAppliances with cooling elements, such as motor vehicle air conditioners, household refrigerators and freezers, window air conditioners, water coolers, vending machines, ice makers and dehumidifiers, are subject to EPA’s safe disposal requirements.  \nWhat You Need to Do When You Accept these Appliances for Disposal  \nUnder the federal regulations, you are responsible for making sure the refrigerant has been properly removed before an appliance is buried, shredded or dismantled, either by verifying its removal prior to arrival at your facility, or by removing it yourself.  \nVerification of Refrigerant Removal Prior  \nto Arrival at Landfill  \nAs the owner or operator of a solid waste landfill or metal recycling facility, you must obtain  \na written and signed statement from each of your customers verifying that  \nthe refrigerant has been properly removed from all appliances  \n(including motor vehicle  \nair conditioners) prior  \nto delivery to your facility.  \nWhat if I receive an appliance with a sticker on it?  \nIn most cases, marks on appliances such as “X” or the presence of a stickerin some way stating that the appliance has been “emptied”do NOT satisfy the EPA verification requirements.  \nYou must maintain copies of these documents onsite for at least three years. This documentation must include:  \n• A signed statement from the customer that sent the appliance for disposal stating that all refrigerant has been removed from the appliance in accordance with the standards listed in EPA’s regulations, and  \n• The name and address of the person (for example, an appliance retailer) who removed the refrigerant and the specific date the refrigerant was removed, OR a contract that refrigerant will be removed prior to delivery.  \nWhat if I receive an appliance that has been  \ncrushed, partially dismantled, or had its refrigerant line cut?  \nIf you receive such a crushed or partially dismantled appliance, you still must obtain written verification of refrigerant removal from the customer that sent that appliance to your facility for disposal.  \nAs part of your verification efforts, EPA recommends that you notify any customers sending these appliances for disposal that the refrigerant must be  \nWhat should I do if a truck delivers a load of solid waste containing one or more appliances, but does not have any refrigerant removal documentation for the appliances or know who the original appliance owners or trash collector were?  \nYou can do any of the following:  \n• Refuse to dispose of the appliance(s) and make the truck driver load the appliance back on the truck for return to whatever location the driver started from;  \n• Accept the appliance(s) from the truck driver, and then send the appliance(s) to a technician who can remove the refrigerant","cbCaionKxLGrDvfZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaionKxLGrDvfZ","pdf",356163,"English","# Introduction\n# Safe Disposal Procedures for Household Appliances that Use Refrigerants\n## Which Appliances You Need to Check Before Accepting for Disposal\n## What You Need to Do When You Accept these Appliances for Disposal\n### Verification of Refrigerant Removal Prior to Arrival at Landfill\n### What if I receive an appliance with a sticker on it?\n### What if I receive an appliance that has been crushed, partially dismantled, or had its refrigerant line cut?\n### What should I do if a truck delivers a load without documentation?\n## Refrigerant Removal after Arrival at Your Facility\n## Refrigerant Recovery Equipment Certification and Registration","[{\"question\":\"Which household appliances must a facility check before accepting them for disposal?\",\"answer\":\"Appliances with cooling elements, including motor vehicle air conditioners, household refrigerators and freezers, window air conditioners, water coolers, vending machines, ice makers, and dehumidifiers, are subject to the EPA safe disposal requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"What documentation is required to verify refrigerant removal before appliances arrive at the facility?\",\"answer\":\"The facility must obtain a written and signed statement from each customer verifying that refrigerant has been properly removed from all appliances prior to delivery.
