That yard is pretty lax on allowing freezers, fridges and water heaters, most of the time they don't even ask about freon or check to see if holes are in the bottom of the water heater. If they do, they have never asked me or checked mine and I have never seen them do that to anyone else either.

That scrapyard used to be a food bank. It's actually a pretty nice place.

Not sure about the loophole. It wouldn't seem to be illegal if they're keeping 100% of it contained and not charging a fee for it, but the EPA has a plethora of guidelines on the matter, and if I'm not mistaken Colorado has some pretty strict environmental regulations.

Knowing the FED it's bound to be breaking a rule somewhere lol. I would stay away from it based on the shape and age of the vehicles the tanks are being removed from. You get one tank of 40 year old gas and your motor is gone lol.

I am not going to use it again. If I had known where it came from the first/only time, I wouldn't have put any in my truck.
