Norma,
     
Caterpillar has developed a recovery process for paint solids of this type 
and there are some other companies that have the capability to do so.
     
I am out of my office today but I can get the people to contact and email it 
to you tomorrow if you wish. Please send an email directly to me so that  I 
can get your return email address.
