IT's HAZ-MAT- even though the R-12 itself is not dangerous, the fact that it's under pressure in the can makes it. Like mrvette pointed out- ground shipping only. The cost of shipping haz-mat anything is high, but if you ship it and don't declare it as haz-mat, the fine will scare you.

It's all an Al Gore eco-scam.
Refrigerant R12 and R22 are heavier than air.
So how in the **ll can it make it to the ozone.
I use to buy 30 pound jugs for $18.00.
Everything above that became tax.
How much did the Gov. make on our backs?
BILLIONS, but I don't carry any resentments,
18 years Refrig. / AC tech.
134 will work on top of R-12.
The story about not mixing with R-12 and it's oil, another LIE.
Have a nice day

Looks like the OP's question has basically been answered. Moving a bit off topic, been in the refrigeration field for years, with the industry quickly responding to the changes in the mid 90's. The global warming thing hasn't changed one iota, with most of it evaporating chlorine from the oceans. Making recovery manditory's a good idea though. Refrigerents changing again, and agree it's mostly political now.

Let me just say this.
There are valcanoes that spew more clorine miles in the air in one day than was ever manufactored in a year.
It has always been political and it has always been about the money.
Goverment is not our friend.

I just picked up a 30 pound can on craigslist for $150. I would suggest that you look in your area and see what pops up.
Some guys sell the small 12 ounce cans for $15-$25 each. The larger containers are more of a bargain...I saw prices anywhere from $250-$300 for 30 pound containers. A guy listed mine yesterday morning and I called him immediately.
