In Reply to: Question on Selling freon posted by Ray on February 24, 2004 at 17:19:37:
I have about 20 cans of freon 12 on a shelf in my storage building and also have wondered what I should do with it. A few years ago, I was told that it was fairly valuable, as supposedly it is illegal to manufacture it in this country. R-12 is still out there, but it may be reclaimed refrigerant from old systems. I always thought R-12 worked better than the current refrigerant. I understand the theories about environmental damages from R-12, but wonder if the current refrigerants are really that much better or if there ever really was a threat at all. But the enviroNazis have been listened to, and it would not surprise me if it was illegal to sell the old cans of refrigerant. And some of the penalties for violating environmental regulations are truly outrageous and frightening. So my Freon has just been setting on the shelf. I hope someone knows about the legality of selling the old Freon or who to ask for a legal determination. It seems stupid to me to just leave the cans of Freon on the shelf and not in use in systems that would use it properly. But those systems are getting fewer and fewer as time goes on. I would like to sell the R-12, but sure don't want to risk getting in trouble.
