Its kinda fuzzy in my head now but about a year and a half ago we delivered a pallet of old PVs to some warehouse in Reno (Sparks) on Greg St.  It was supposed to be the beginning of recycling here on the west coast and was headed up by Sam Vanderhoof and a fellow named Lamar.  Hopefully this info is still all good as I haven't contacted these folks since and can't find how to contact them. Maybe Sam catches wind and can straighten out things here on the list.

    Hi All,

    Some asked me a question about recycling of panels and I can’t
    exactly find out the answer.

    The companies here in the US that “recycle”.
    If I understand it right, they are:

    1. removing the aluminum frames

    2. grinding up the panels

    3. removing the wires

    Then I don’t know what happens, do they go to China for melting
    down or?

    thanks in advance

    Jay
