    I can see how it would take awhile to break down 28 window air conditioners. Breaking down 80 + will keep your hands busy for awhile.

    It's hard to say on the truck. It used to be that we called in the freon recovery company once we had accumulated 50 Freon units. They would be a mix of freezers, fridges, window AC's, and dehumidifiers. They would come down and haul it all off to their shop.



    After awhile ... they figured out that it was a whole lot less time & trouble to send out a freon technician with a van full of equipment and remove the freon on-site.

    It made quite a bit of extra work for me. Now ... i do the prep for their arrival and deal with the scrap metal after they are done.

    I try to look on the bright side. All the extra work that got piled on my shoulders makes it so i have to put in overtime to get the job done. Cha-Ching !

    That's where the real money in scrapping gets made.
