    I get $0.20 un-drained for whole units. I am licensed for refrigerant recovery and have the equipment, just not the time. I know of one large scale buyer that is paying $0.23.

    Do you think the yards buying them undrained at tht price then properly drain them? If I could get that much for them undrained and they were properly disposing of them that would be unheard of and awesome

    No where around me is "supposed" to take them undrained.... but they do but only at shred price (and assumingly illeglly drains them)... and most places (that arent scrap yards and properly handle them) charge to take them. The one landfill by me takes them and charges $15/unit

    If anyone know anywhere that pays for them AND properly disposes of them, anywhere within like.... 3 hrs of Philly.... let me know lol

    Thats a good deal there at .20 -.23. I think .10 is a terrible price for complete units, but shops still drop them off there. It is a small yard, almost like a ma n pop scrapyard. Good people there thow
