How to Dispose of Solar Panel in St. Petersburg, FL
A solar panel is not mixed household e-waste in St. Petersburg. TV and computer drop-off usually will not take a full PV module. Do not put panels in trash or the recycling cart — glass, laminate, and junction boxes are not MRF material, and a panel still produces voltage in light. Ask the installer about take-back. City of St. Petersburg — Special Pickup is the official St. Petersburg program we verified — confirm they list solar / PV. If they only list TVs and computers, use a specialty PV recycler or a transfer/C&D site they name, not the e-waste line.
