WHO KNEW it is now possible to recycle most of your styrofoam instead of it ending up in a landfill?
Volunteers from Sustainable Hanover are helping with this styrofoam collection. Please save what you have and spread the word.
2022 Foam Collection Day in Lebanon
Event Details: Saturday, April 16, 2022, 9-11 am behind Jake’s Coffee, 227
Mechanic Street, Lebanon, NH
Sustainable Lebanon is once again partnering with the Lebanon Rotary Club to offer a polystyrene (Styrofoam) collection day. The event will take place rain or shine.
Various types of foam will be collected for recycling, including:
polystyrene #6 (EPS)
polyethylene #4 (EPE)
#6 XPS insulation board foam
All items will be driven to a recycling facility in Massachusetts. This includes packaging foam used for TVs, computers, and appliances, as well as foam coolers. Food service foam, including clean food containers and egg cartons will be recycled via Terracycle. We ask that all tape and labels be removedand all foam is clean, dry, and free of food residue or other debris.
PLEASE NOTE: Foam peanuts should be brought directly to the UPS Store at True Value Hardware in Hanover.
There is no fee to participate, but donations are welcome to support the costs associated with this event. To cover transportation and recycling costs, we need to raise $500. Donations can be made at the event via cash or check (payable to Sustainable Lebanon) or online at www.facebook.com/SustainableLebanonNH. Thanks in advance for considering a donation!
