Marion County MUST have all appliances that were designed to contain refrigerant (whether or not they currently contain refrigerant) assessed by a professional who will remove any refrigerant and provide DEQ with required documentation. This is due to the EPA Clean Air Act and must be done before the appliance can be sent off for recycling. For this reason, we charge $25.00 for appliances that were designed to contain refrigerant. Removing refrigerant yourself is dangerous to the environment and your health, is against EPA regulations, and you will still be charged the $25.00 fee.
