The correct answer is A) The recovered refrigerant should be sent to a designated reclamation facility for processing. This is the correct answer because refrigerants recovered from burned-out small appliances are likely to be highly contaminated and cannot be safely reused. Under EPA regulations, contaminated refrigerants must be sent to an EPA-approved reclamation facility to be properly cleaned and purified before they can be reused. The other answer choices are incorrect because blending contaminated refrigerant, using it to clean systems, or simply destroying it would not be compliant with environmental regulations.
