Given that, as you say, the shop you pay might just illegally dispose of the stuff, if the freon still works effectively and there is no leak then it seems to me that leaving well-enough alone is the best eco-strategy for now. Easiest on the wallet too.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
