How should cans containing CFC gas be disposed of?

• A. Send to a reclamation facility to be put in special Furness
• B. Dispose with regular household waste
• C. Return to the supplier for reuse
• D. Bury in the ground

Answer: (A)

CFCs are ozone-depleting substances and require special handling. Canisters that contain CFC gas must be managed by licensed facilities that can recover the refrigerant and either recycle it or destroy it safely, preventing any release to the atmosphere. A reclamation facility is equipped to capture and process the gas under environmental regulations, protecting both people and the environment. Disposing with regular household waste, burying the can, or just returning it without proper reclamation risks releasing harmful gases and breaking disposal rules. So sending the can to a reclamation facility ensures the gas is handled correctly and safely.
