Subject:acceptable way to discharge A/C at home?
From:Wesley Pegden

Hi guys,
As my other posts indicate, I'm currently battling my thermostat
housing.  I've moved my compressor as much out of the way as I can
without disconnecting the hoses, but would really like to remove it
entirely (and never put it back) since my A/C is dysfunctional anyways.
Trouble is, it still is charged with Freon, and, since the van is
currently immobile, I can't go somewhere to have it discharged.  Is
there someway I can discharge and safely dispose of the freon with the
van in my driveway?

Thanks for any help,
Wes
