    alot of newer fridges have R134 which is ok to release...

    I did a fridge the other day... no much to the thing... pretty much just pulled the compressor tank out and scrapped the rest of it as is....

    Older refridgerators have the bad stuff in them, so its really up to you what you do with them...They usually have aluminum cooling units behind the wall of the freezer compartment and the copper pipeing that runs thru the walls is usually caped with insulation that is a scrap metalscrap metalscrap metalscrap metalscrap metal to get off...Read up on the freon before you decide to release it into the air, just my thought!!!

    Though the compressors may bring you $5 or so.
