Be sure to find out what types of Styrofoam are accepted in your program and which aren’t. Some programs also don’t want colored Styrofoam. The foam used in cups is different than packing peanuts which is different than the foam blocks your electronics come packed in, and so on. Check with your local community’s recycling program, but most likely they will tell you to simply throw it in the trash.Įven if your community does take Styrofoam for recycling, be aware that not all Styrofoam is created equal. It’s also a different type of plastic than what most jugs and bottles are made of, and it’s simply not a great quality plastic the manufacturers want. If you live in the Northeast, Michigan or California, you may still be able to recycle Styrofoam, but most recycling centers won’t take it anymore, because it is mostly air and after melting down for reuse, there isn’t enough plastic left to make it profitable.
