[RE-wrenches] solar panel recycling

[frenergy]

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.
