    hello from boise, ID

    I've been a long time scrapper, mostly refrigeration units and refrigerators. Got started in refrigerant reclaiming a few years ago. How many people are currently parting out refrigeration compressors?

    Howdy Joe, now we got 3 folks from idaho here.

    I dont mess with them, i sell them to an HVAC guy so he can properly release the freon. Just one less headache for me.

    Nice to have ya here!

    I limit my pick up of appliances containing freon because I don't have a way to recover it. One of the yards does take appliances, but the pay is so pitiful it isn't worth my time. Another yard will take them, if I show proof of certification.

    Are you for hire? Rates?

    And welcome aboard!

    I usually charge 5 dollars apiece on refrigerators and give you a certificate for them so you can run them across the scales at Pacific for tin.

    Any chance you're a mobile outfit? If things pan out what I'd probably want to do is get 10/15 together, then have you out to reclaim. Instead of running 1 or 2 out to you at a time.

    I am in West Nampa.

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks.
