Where does one recycle vinyl siding and other PVC waste in Connecticut?

Are there any vinyl siding and PVC recycling companies or centers located in Connecticut? Is there a source for this information because the DEP in Connecticut has absolutely no information as to where or what to do. They only list PVC as a potential recyclable material. This information would be beneficial to many builders and remodelers throughout our state and throughout New England. It should be posted at the State of Connecticut site also. Thanks for your help.

A database of vinyl recyclers can be found here:

and

Phone: (203) 389-1314
