    All you need is:
    A: Bullet valve
    B: A hose
    C: A tank (Any that will hold the gas)
    D: Vise grips

    Procedure:
    A: firmly crimp the capillery tube with the vice grips, leave attached!
    B: Attach hose to tank and bullet valve (Helps if the tank is vacuumed)
    C: Firmly attach bullet valve to the filter dryer.
    D: Screw in bullet valve to peirce filter drier shell, purge air from hose.
    E: Open tank wide (And put it into a bucked of ice if handy)
    F: Turn on fridge and let run as long as possible, Untill compressor is HOT.
    G: Close tank and bullet valve and remove, you should have succefully recovered the bulk of the charge and avoid being a total venting loser!

    So there is literaly NO excuse not to recover, simply drop off the small tank to a local shop and tell them it's waste refrigerant.

    Cost you say? Recovery tanks are so expensive and hard to move you protest? Nope not excuses! here:
