Disposing of Appliances Containing CFC's

| How should CFC containing appliances be disposed of in Barrie? |
|
Effective January 2, 2013, the Barrie Landfill Site can receive and decommission CFC containing appliances. The fee for this service is $25 per appliance.

| Why do CFC containing appliances have to be decommissioned? |
|
Ministry of the Environment Regulations states that any appliances containing CFC's such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and water coolers must be decommissioned and certified CFC free by a licensed technician. The certified notice of the decommissioning must be affixed to the appliance before it can be recycled.
|
| What are the effects of the improper disposal of CFCs? |
|
When released to the atmosphere, CFCs react with ozone (O3) converting it into oxygen gas (O2). The ozone layer absorb UV-B radiation. The depletion of the ozone layer allows more of this radiation to reach the surface of the Earth. CFCs also act as greenhouse gases by trapping heat from escaping Earth’s atmosphere.
