In the near future the green guys are going to demand that scrap car haulers be responsible for removing the freon from any car, truck, bus or motor home that has an AC unit installed.
Every State in the U.S.A. has a course available, as each Canadian Province offers the same 3 or 5 day course, prices may vary.
Check with your local environment agency then ask when the next freon removal course is coming up, don't be caught out in the cold when they pass the law.
The landfill sites here all now require that the appliances have been evacuated, the refrigeration guys do not want the job. The remote sites do not have electricity to run their equipment.
I was toying with the idea of getting my freon handling certificate then going after the contracts from the various landfill sites.
This removal ticket does not make you a refrigeration technician, just gives you the right to remove and handle freon according to the laws set fourth regarding this substance. All of which you will learn from taking the course.
