All yards regardless of which state you are in are required to verify the units you are delivering have been properly processed. The yard should be having you sign a paper stating that you have properly recovered the refrigerant. This is a federal law. If you look at your receipt you receive from the scrap yard you are selling to it may contain a statement that you have removed the refrigerant from the units or vehicle you are selling. The yard might have you sign a signature pad before paying you which accomplishes this requirement.



This puts the liability on to the person selling the material. If you are selling appliances to these yards and you are not licensed to demanufacturer it is only a matter of time before you may be caught.
