Recycle vinyl and PVC

Q: I just removed all the vinyl siding on my house. Where can I recycle it and other PVC products in my area?


Rett Martin, Middlebury, VT


A: Associate editor Chris Ermides replies: If your local landfill doesn’t recycle vinyl, visit The Vinyl Institute’s Web site (www.vinylinfo.org). It has a recycling directory that’s searchable by state.
