Interesting you brought that up. I asked Sunshine what they were going to do with my old working unit and they said it goes to a company where they recycle it. I'm guessing they remover the old refrigerant and "process" it somehow and recycle all the metal, etc.... You just can't remove the old refrigerant and re-use it becasue you don't know if its contaminated so there must be some recycling process they use.
