I've never been to that area, but after Tatooine here in Wyoming, the DEQ has gotten very aggressive with CRTs. I'm glad to be done with them. The peace of mind is alone worth it. I don't know how nice your truck is... out here we never see rust like that. But, I think it's a good starting point. My Chevrolet has it's "issues" too. I don't know if there is any place that does HVAC recovery near you. Out here, there's a place that takes freezers/refrigerators/air conditioners for free. They don't charge for the freon removal. They don't pick up. They use a flatbed triple axle gooseneck and a Dodge 3500 diesel. Their trailer goes up to the larger feeder yard once a month. For a town with only 10,000 people, they sure seem to get a lot of that stuff.
Yeah really. I'm pretty sure the guy I got the truck from was a dealer but everything was legit when I went to register so that was good. Truck was made in Canada and is pushing 285,000 miles(282,800) on all original hardware(except the tires). Told the wife when the odometer gets up to 999,000 miles I was going to notch out a spot and add a digit to count the millionth mile lol. Regarding licensing: I'm not sure what Onondaga county requires for recyclers, but I'm not a recycler so I fall in that gray area(like most home based business' that aren't licensed, regulated, etc..). Good example are those gold buying places that are based out of some dudes living room. I'm not that bad as I do pickup only. Regarding HVAC: The places around me do offer HVAC recovery but they want the appliance also. I'll have to hold off on accepting anything with refrigerants till I can afford to get the pump and tank myself because letting a 3rd party recover and accept is a loss of profit. I also started a facebook petition but I don't think it'd be acceptable to post it here.
