Generating activities should not remove the refrigerant from usable or serviceable refrigeration property. The DTID and the property will be marked and labeled with the words "NOTICE: Contains Refrigerant. Refrigerants must be recovered before final disposal of this item." for inventory and storage purposes. These items will be processed as normal receipts with the refrigerants intact and will be processed by the DLA Disposition Services site.

If the usable and serviceable property fails RTD and is processed to final disposal (scrap or landfill), DLA Disposition Services site will ensure the generating activity’s removal and recovery of the ODS from the property prior to final disposal. Additionally, DLA will ensure that a signed and dated statement of refrigerant removal is provided by the generating activity giving the information listed (see DLA Form 2545 ). The generating activity, upon notification by DLA Disposition Services site, has the responsibility of funding and ensuring that the refrigerant is removed or recovered from the property prior to going to scrap or a landfill. The DLA Disposition Services site will downgrade the property to scrap once the signed removal certificate has been received.

Generating activities will remove or recover refrigerants prior to transferring unserviceable or scrap refrigeration equipment to a DLA Disposition Services site.

The EPA considers compressors an "appliance," so if the compressor is removed from a refrigerator, the compressor itself becomes an appliance and the refrigerant must be removed from the compressor.

Generating activities and DLA Disposition Services sites will retain the statement and documentation in their property accounting files, for 3 years from date of receipt, and have it available in the event of a federal or State regulatory inspection. Additionally, a label will be attached to the property, for inventory and storage purposes, to indicate the refrigerant has been removed or recovered prior to turn-in as unserviceable or scrap. The label will contain the statement: "NOTICE: All refrigerants have been removed from this item in accordance with 40 CFR 82.156(f). Supporting documentation is on file."
