Responsible, fully traceable end-of-life solar panel collection and recycling for businesses, installers and solar farms across Manchester and the North West.
When solar panels reach the end of their working life or are damaged, decommissioned or replaced, they become classified WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). PV Recycling collects and recycles photovoltaic panels right across Greater Manchester, recovering the glass, aluminium, silicon and valuable metals locked inside each module and returning them to the supply chain.
Whether you’re an installer clearing site waste, or a commercial operator decommissioning a large rooftop or ground-mount system, we make recycling simple, compliant and fully documented, with appropriate documentation provided every time.
From a few modules to full commercial and solar-farm decommissions, we recycle:
Everything you need for responsible, audit-ready disposal — handled for you.
Registered waste carrier with full WEEE compliance and duty-of-care documentation issued on every single collection.
Convenient, scheduled pickups from sites throughout Manchester and the surrounding Greater Manchester boroughs.
Glass, aluminium frames, silicon cells and precious metals are recovered and put back to productive use.
Full traceability with a certificate of recycling and waste transfer notes for your records, audits and reporting.
From first enquiry to certificate — we take care of the lot.

Absolutely. Every collection comes with a certificate of recycling and full waste transfer documentation, so your disposal is completely audit-ready.
Up to around 95% of a panel’s materials, including glass, aluminium, silicon and metals, can be recovered and returned to productive use rather than sent to landfill.
We cover the whole region, including Salford, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan, as well as the wider North West.
