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.<br>

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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
I suspect we're not the only ones facing this, and
solutions are out there. All suggestions appreciated,
thank you.<br>
