Who Should Handle Refrigerant
Refrigerant must be recovered before a refrigerator or freezer is scrapped; the final disposer in the disposal chain is responsible for recovery, and some municipalities will not pick up appliances until it has been removed. Source: U.S. EPA - Appliance Disposal

Local Notes for Burton
Most freezer calls in Burton come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.

In South Carolina, you can check a license with the SC LLR License Lookup or report a problem to the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
