This is from August 2015:
Hello Wrenchers,
Our solar non-profit is accepting donations of modules in exchange
for a tax deduction off of your taxes. If you have clients wanting
to replace old modules, customers wishing to abandon their PV array
(for some odd reason), have encountered modules with broken glass or
bent frames, we can take them off your hands and give you a tax
credit in the amount of the module's retained worth; as determined
by you/ the donor. As long as the modules are still producing power,
we can find appropriate projects that can utilize them despite their
unsavory appearance. Currently we have projects in Rwanda, Ecuador,
India, and here in the USA. We donate materials and labor to
communities, schools, medical facilities, and tribal nations. Help
us help those in need. Don't throw it away, recycle it!

Dan,
Just in case, two other possible options for recycling modules (not
sure if these folks are still in business or not)...

We have also taken modules to *Goodwill Electronics Recycling* in
Denver who tell us they dismantle the frames for recycling. Not sure
how verifiable that is or if a Goodwill in PA does something similar.
Best of luck!
