    I've been to about 20 different yards so far and have seen 0 of them recover freon. Right now theres about 10 different loads of baled up air conditioners waiting to go through the shredder. gaurenteed the majority of them were not evac'ed properly. I also cut up the compressors that come in and only find about one or two units in every 1000lbs has been completely emptied. I have seen hotel maintenance guys evac fridges once though. Me and a few others I know have the 608 cert. the majority of the people I talk to that are not HVAC have no idea what that even means.
