CFC/HCFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator may have

a cooling system that used CFCs

or HCFCs (chlorofiuorocarbons or

hydrochlorofiuorocarbons). CFCs

and HCFCs are believed to harm

stratospheric ozone if released to the

atmosphere. Other refrigerants may

also cause harm to the environment if

released to the atmosphere.

If you are throwing away your old

refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant

is removed for proper disposal by a

qualified technician. If you intentionally

release refrigerant, you may be subject

to fines and imprisonment under

provisions of environmental legislation.
