    Okay, so if a scrapper sells say, a refrigerator, whole to a scrap yard, knowing the yard is NOT abiding by these rules, I wonder if the scrapper is equally culpable?

    I made good friends with a licensed freon evacuator. He does it "mobile" along with out of his back yard. I call him up, he tells me when to stop by, and he hooks up his machine. Just had two done on Monday. He evacd them, gave me two slips (one for each) in case I got stopped on the way home (for whatever reason), and away I went. Sliced the radiators up right on the tailgate of my truck, before I even detached them from the casing. Worked well.

    Burly, I believe as long as no attempt has been made to release the refrigerant, and you notify them of the fact that it is still charged, responsibility is transferred to the new owner, i.e. the scrap yard. If you attempt to relieve that system, a refrigerator/AC/dehumidifier/etc., of its refrigerant charge you are 100% liable for that release.
