After recovering refrigerant, which action is compliant with typical EPA Type I practices?

Under typical EPA Type I practices, recovered refrigerant must be kept contained and not released. The proper approach is to store the recovered refrigerant in labeled, leak-tight cylinders and dispose of or recycle it through the approved program. This prevents any unintentional release and ensures proper handling and tracking. Venting to the atmosphere is not allowed because it releases refrigerants into the air and can harm the environment. Storing in unlabeled containers creates confusion and compliance issues, since you can’t guarantee what’s inside or ensure proper handling. Dumping or disposing of refrigerant on the ground is unsafe and illegal.
