Can I just crack open a pressurized hose and let it leak out in a bucket?

Dangers?  It all depends on who you believe, a bunch of pencil-necked geek
scientists or Rush Limbaugh.  Nowadays, most HVAC types are keen on
refrigerant recovery.  For a modest fee, they will recover the refrigerant
for you.  Just don't let them do you the "favor" of keeping it.  Considering
the high price of R-12, if enough remains in your system you should be able
to make a few bucks on the deal.
