Raymond Dickover says
Hi, my name is Raymond Dickover of Oak Ridge and am inquiring about me bringing my AC unit to you to evacuate what I think is R-22 and sell the unit for scrap. Or just have you take it off my hands, do what you do, and pocket the recycling money as payment for your services.
Thanks for your reply.
