Recycling Styrofoam Packing

RE: Recycling Styrofoam Packing Post By susanne (Guest Post) (09/28/2008) I'd also go to craigslist and post in the "for sale" - "free" section that you have packing peanuts you want to get rid of or vice versa, that you are looking for free peanuts.

We are a public/business drop-off location and part of a National Mail Back program with AFPR www.epspackaging.org. for the recycling of EPS(expanded polystyrene) widely known as STYROFOAM. We do not take XPS like egg cartons, cups, or food trays but all other forms of EPS. Please check out our website if we can be off assistance. www.styrocyclers.com Remember EPS is 100% recyclable and can be turned into styrene products like CD cases, paper clip holders, etc. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Recycling Styrofoam Packing Post By Jim (Guest Post) (07/02/2008) I am in New York City and have a small collection of styrofoam from various items we have purchased. Does anyone know of any place in or around NYC that takes styrofoam? Thank you.

Is there anyway for styrofoam to be condenced to be shipped to a recycling facility. Hospitals and Pharmacys generate large amounts of styrofoam due to certain medications need to be kept cold. Also lots of supplies are shipped without the peanuts but in hard styrofoam. There would be no way they would pay someone to break the styrofoam or ship it without it being condensed. It would be very costly to do this. But they may use a compactor. Any ideas?

They come from the meats and produce we buy at the grocery stores and egg cartons. I clean and dry them and I am willing to pay for shipping to send them to a recycler. The waste team in my city of Newark, California, will not accept them. The companies nearby will only accept them from commercial vendors. Any help on this matter is appreciated.

What is a good way to get rid of such minimal amounts? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Recycling Styrofoam Packing Post By (Guest Post) (11/24/2007) Look to local hobby and craft stores. A buddy of mine told me about that. Often time hobbyists and crafters will use Styrofoam in making their crafts (model building, wreathes, flower arrangements). Sometimes these stores will take your unwanted Styrofoam and put it in a "grab-bag" for people to take who need it. Moving companies, food stores, electronic stores, mail rooms, and industrials areas gladly take it too for packaging. Finally, for very large, high quality sheets of Styrofoam you may be able to sell it on ebay to the same people. I hope this was helpful.

It is called 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.

We throw away acres of packing stryofoam, mostly in sheets, and block pieces. I wish someone would find a use for them, or suggest a place that would come and pick them up for recycling. I HATE seeing all that go into a dump somewhere. Maybe someone could grind them up and use them to make flotation items, or into a spray to line flower pots for insulation. Someone out there has got to have a way to recycle it! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Recycling Styrofoam Packing Post By Erin (Guest Post) (09/14/2007) You can take it to a UPS store. They reuse it.

I am in Atlanta and I am looking for a place to get large amounts of these packing peanuts. I dont want to buy 1000 bags at walmart for $3 each - I can't afford that, but I am moving and I need a big quantity of them. Any suggestions? I would gladly pick them up from someone's home if they have some.

Also, foam peanuts are great for using in the bottom of large flower pots. It helps with the drainage, reduces the amount of dirt you need, and makes the pot lighter for moving. Maybe you could interest a neighbor or garden club if you don't have any luck with the mailing stores.

In MD I know they will take the foam peanuts. They may take a sheet of foam, probably not odd shaped pieces on items that are packed around TV's etc. Report Spam or Abuse
