I pulled the Al off, and recycled the framing with our cans ( Al scrap
is over 50 cents/lb). The glass/ silicon I took to a computer/
electronics recycling drop off. Did I do the right thing? Never know,
but shipping them seems more environmentally damaging than the land
fill. Many places recycle electronics, I saw a drop off at Best Buy the
other day.

Take them to Quartzsite, AZ in January. You'll sell them in a day.
Recycle that junk into cash!
Seriously, we often get calls from desert rats (picture some occupy
wall street types with wiry hair and leathery, dust covered skin from
dwelling in the desert too long) looking for used or busted modules.

Wrenches,
Over the years we have gathered a collection of failed and shattered
modules of various brands. It's a collection because we haven't
wanted them to go into our landfill. It's time to get them out of
here as our space needs increase.
What's the sustainable and responsible way to deal with them? I'd be
willing to remove the aluminum frames where possible and ship the
rest to a center that would be equipped to responsibly recycle the
materials, but I don't know where to begin.
I suspect we're not the only ones facing this, and solutions are out
there. All suggestions appreciated, thank you.
