We Pay You.
Every HVAC company, independent technician, and facility team in Iowa can access T&K's recovery program. We deploy EPA-certified technicians to your location, recover refrigerant, reclaim copper and silver, and pay you based on purity and current market prices. Every pound we capture prevents thousands of pounds of CO₂-equivalent emissions and returns critical minerals to America's domestic supply chain.
EPA Section 608 Certification — federally required and valid in all 50 states. Covers all refrigerant recovery and handling. No state-by-state transfer needed.
Standard Handyman License — covers equipment removal, decommissioning, and materials recovery. Available in most states with minimal requirements.
No HVAC Contractor License needed for recovery, decommissioning, or recycling program work. The T&K national program is refrigerant recovery and material reclamation — not HVAC installation or service contracting.
Iowa's large agricultural processing sector, growing data center industry, and expanding university system create substantial HVAC equipment volumes. The Quad Cities metro area bridges Iowa and Illinois making it a natural hub. Iowa universities including University of Iowa and Iowa State generate significant campus facility replacement cycles.
Iowa scrap metal regulation is governed under Chapter 714.27. Dealers must maintain a confidential transaction register with seller ID, vehicle info, and material description.
