Solar panels – residential and RV

How to recycle residential solar panels

Take old and broken solar panels to an electronics recycling drop-off.

This includes panels that are:

  • Silicon (Monocrystalline & Polycrystalline)
  • Thin Film: solar panels with a thin film of photovoltaic material on a substrate such as glass, plastic or metal

Examples include:

  • Residential solar panels
  • RV solar panels
  • Solar panel lights for gardens, posts, fences and pathways

Special instructions

  • Some restrictions apply. For full details, see Electronics Recycling program.
  • If you take electronics to a City Eco Centre and bring other garbage in your load, charges will apply.
  • Do NOT put panels in your blue cart as these items can damage the equipment at the recycling facility.

For other options, please visit Alberta Recycling Management Authority for locations.
