Mr. K's Recycles PV Solar Panels!
Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, used to generate electricity, have an average life of 20 to 40 years, and panels installed going back to the 19080's are starting to age out. Many contain lead, cadmium, and other toxic chemicals that can leach into the soil. Keep PV solar panels out of our landfills by bringing them to Mr. K's for convenient recycling. |
