General Information
Compressors in refrigerators and other coolers contain oil with CFCs (Freons) in suspension. This oil must be reclaimed and handled as dangerous waste. Any company that takes your appliance should properly handle CFCs and compressor oil as well as recycling the metals.
If the oil is analyzed through the rebuttable presumption process, it may be designated as used oil. To learn more about the rebuttable presumption process consult the Department of Ecology's "Best Management Practices for Used Oil Definitions & Prohibitions PDF."
