Not good for the planet but that is what happens most of the time. Even people with recovery equipment don't bother, they just say they do the right thing.
One guy I talked to said it takes to much time and is a pain in the a$$ to filter and reuse it.
But, if you recover it, you can sell it to someone else who will filter it, clean it, and sell it again to be reused. Lots of places will pay for recovered refrigerant.
Especially if it's the right kind of refrigerant. R-22 is hot right now.
