HVAC Recycling Built Around Your Project

Red paint-like swoosh across the top on a white background

We Understand How Contractors Work.

A recycling company shouldn't become another subcontractor you have to manage. Tell us what the project involves, where it's located, what equipment is coming out and when you need it moved. We'll help develop a recycling and logistics plan around your project.

We Handle The Logistics

Getting Equipment Off the Job Shouldn't Slow the Job Down.

Commercial HVAC equipment is large, heavy and often removed on a schedule. AAA Recycling can coordinate recycling logistics based on the needs of the project.

The goal is simple: Keep your crews working and the old equipment moving.

Refrigerant Recovery is Part of the Process

Red paint-like swoosh across the top on a white background

We Don't Treat HVAC Equipment Like Ordinary Scrap.

Retired air conditioning and refrigeration equipment can contain refrigerants that require proper handling. That's why refrigerant recovery is an important part of AAA Recycling's HVAC recycling process. Our recovery technicians provide professional recovery of Freon and other refrigerants from qualifying HVAC equipment. Recovered refrigerant is then weighed, tested and sorted at our facility for appropriate handling.

Because Your Company's Name Is On The Project Too.

We Understand How Contractors Work.

When equipment leaves your job site, you should know who is handling it and what happens next. AAA Recycling believes responsible HVAC recycling means more than loading old equipment onto a truck.

It means having a process.
It means recovering refrigerants appropriately.
It means separating recyclable materials.
It means working with experienced people who understand HVAC equipment.

And it means giving contractors and commercial customers a recycling partner they can rely on.

AAA Recycling recycles and purges freon refrigerant responsibly

Local Processing

Your equipment deserves more than a trip to the scrap pile.

A Clear Process From Start to Finish

Turn Retired Equipment Into Value

Don't Give Away Valuable HVAC Scrap.

Commercial HVAC equipment can contain significant amounts of copper, aluminum, steel and other recyclable materials. Qualifying equipment may have recycling value.

AAA Recycling pays for qualifying HVAC equipment and recyclable material based on factors such as equipment type, completeness, quantity and current material values.

For contractors generating equipment regularly, that can turn what was once a disposal problem into another source of value for the business.

A Better Recycling Partner for HVAC Contractors

Stop Handling Every Job Differently.

If your company replaces HVAC equipment every week, recycling shouldn't require figuring out a new solution every week. AAA Recycling can work with your company to create a more consistent process.

For ongoing contractor accounts, we'll work with you to determine the right combination of drop-off, pickup, container service and refrigerant recovery. That means fewer questions for your crews and a cleaner recycling workflow for your company.

COMMERCIAL PROJECT? START WITH A PLAN.

For larger HVAC replacement projects, contacting us before equipment starts coming off the roof or out of the mechanical room allows us to plan with you.

We'll use that information to help determine the appropriate recycling and logistics solution.
