How to recycle / dispose foam packaging

Search for another material

We accept foam packaging, or polystyrene

in your regular trash
as trash at the Shady Grove Transfer Station and Processing Facility.

Local "mailing solution" stores may accept packing peanuts for reuse. Put your peanuts into a bag or box and take them to a location near you.

Find a recycling location for foam peanuts, or "loose fill", and other foam packaging, using the EPS Industry Alliance lookup tool.
