Also if you are interested in recycling Styrofoam, I have found this event that worked out well in the fall when I did it. They seem to do it 2x a year and it is run by Refoamit.com. Just what you need in your garage, stock piles of Styrofoam:)
You can bring:
* Packing blocks
* Packing peanuts (must snap)
* Produce and meat trays (no biodegrable ones)
* Take out containers
* Hot cups such as Dunkin Donuts and Honey Do (We can not take Starbucks and most McDonalds because they have cardboard infused on them.)
* Trays
* Plastic utensils (Must be kept separate from any of the above Styrofoam pieces)
* White insulation sheets

Event occurs April 30, 2011
Grace Church, Framingham, MA, 10-3, 76 Salem End Rd., Framingham, MA Open to residents and non-residents of Framingham! This event is part of Framingham's Earth Day Celebration.

Share these events with any one else you think may want the info.
