    Refrigerant recycling prices

    Just FYI I posted this in the refrigerant recovery forum as well if you want to just post there and have access.

    So, for a long time I've just been borrowing a recovery machine and tanks from a friend and I just give him the refrigerant I recover...not so much a big part of what I do so I didn't care really. I finally ponied up the money and got me some brand new equipment.

    I have started getting a lot more air conditioners lately, and have basically an unlimited supply of refrigerators if I wanted them. Around here, scrap yards don't pay but maybe a buck or two a ton unless they are evacuated and the compressor removed. I pulled my first 20 pounds of R-22 out of some a/c's today.

    Anyway, I read freonjoe's recent thread about R-22, and saw he got $7 a pound for it. What are you all getting for other refrigerants?



    R-134a
    R-12
    R-10
    R-410a

    That's what I have run into so far. Feel free to add others if you want.

    Thanks!

    Ryan,
    These are the current prices that I have quotes for. These prices are per pound and only for refrigerants that test 99.5 or better purity.

    R11-8.50
    R-12-18.00
    R113-3.50
    R114-12.00
    R123-4.00
    R134a-0.75
    R500-12.00
    R502-2.00

    All 400 series is 0.20

    I hope this helps.

    Excellent, yes it does. Thanks!

    A purity tester like you have would definitely come in handy, but really I can't spend another couple thousand on this stuff right now. In the future I can see getting one if my volume goes up.
