Sell us your R-404A
High priority. Reclaimed R-404A is the SB 1206-compliant bulk supply in California, so recovered gas is in demand.
We supply DOT recovery cylinders and shipping documents, or pick up across Southern California. On receipt, every load gets a certified scale weight and AHRI-700 laboratory analysis, and a Recovery Manifest documents chain of custody for your EPA records.

05Regulatory status
Where R-404A stands
HFC blend
With a GWP above 2,200, California's SB 1206 has banned the sale of newly produced bulk R-404A statewide since January 1, 2025 — reclaimed R-404A is exempt and is the compliant bulk supply in the state. Federally, virgin supply keeps shrinking under the AIM Act phasedown. Servicing existing systems remains legal.
