Yep, because they know people will dump it on Craigslist for a bit of cash or use it in their garage otherwise. Some program require destruction (I'd imagine something like ripping out the door gasket or breaking the glass in shelving.. or something that makes uneconomical to repair... not releasing refrigerant) before leaving site to avoid diversion.

I made these hypothetical examples, because, these two options both provide the same convenience factor of haul-away at the time of delivery.
