If you have to many for you to use - most preschools would love to have your surplus for art projects for the children. Thanks.

RE: Uses for Styrofoam Meat Trays
Hello. There is machine known as Styromelt that is in use in Europe. It is call the TP Series Recycling Machine in the States. It takes used uncleaned styrofoam and reduces it down by 95%. The end product is sterile an valuable. In Europe, the steel industry is using the biproduct for fuel as it burns hotter and much cleaner than coal. TP Machines are too large for personal home use but perfect for industrial, stadiums, malls, fast food, or retailers who use and throw away large amounts of styrofoam. For more info: www.teampeace.com or http://web.mac.com/tpii. Naturally I believe that every city councel should have machines for use in their municipality.

Neat...although I just want to recycle mine. Does anyone know of a place that accepts styrofoam trays that have #2 on the back? I would be willing to mail them somewhere.

I stapled foam trays to the inside of our dog's house one winter. It was sooo warm! He was full-grown, so he didn't chew on them. BTW, then I stapled overlapping denim squares to the inside of the doorway, and heavy plastic to the outside to keep out rain and snow. He loved it!

After you wash them , they can be used just like shrinky dinks. A low oven and a watchful eye turns out some pretty neat ideas. ornaments,keychain & bracelet danglers. even gift tags. just be sure and watch them! plus they come in all colors.

I wash the trays and use them for drying flower seeds, as saucers for small potted plants ( and large), as trays, and for drying herbs.

If you use the air dry cycle, you can wash them in the dishwasher. No worries about lurking bacteria!

Re-use Styrofoam Meat Trays
I save and re-use the styrofoam meat trays for holding a lot of my homemade candy, cookies and goodies, as gifts. Also great for Bake Sales.
I wash the trays in hot water, to which it have added a SMALL amount of Clorox and dish soap.
Rinse thoroughly and let air dry for a day. Store in large plastic bag securely closed, until needed for use. Re-rinse and dry before use.
I wrap the tray entirely with aluminum foil. Arrange the homemade goodies on them. Wrap the entire package with plastic wrap.
Cut a pretty picture from greeting card, scotch tape it to top, add a bow and gift tag.
Makes a very pretty, sturdy, free tray for your home made gifts.
