you're probably going to have to get a proshop to do it...the machines that recover the refridg are expensive...and even if you could somehow dump it in a can, what would you do with the can?

Take it to the shop and have the system discharged...
Once you have everything together take it back to the shop and have the system pumped down and recharged and checked for leaks....
