YOU CAN DEFINITELY RECYCLE IT MAN!
Good that you are eco-friendly.
The industry assumes that the public is hooked on the convenience of their product. They contend that it is unfair to deny the public a conveniently disposable product because of some environmental concerns. Never mind that the concept of convenient disposal is no longer valid in most communities facing solid waste crises.
The polystyrene industry makes light of the issue of the impact of their products in the waste stream. They suggest that polystyrene foam food service disposables contribute approximately 0.25 percent by weight of the total waste stream, and that the products of combustion of polystyrene are carbon dioxide and water. They project that all plastics make up only 7.3 percent, by weight of the total solid waste stream.

Yes! you can recycle your waste polystyrene very easily. I shared with my 2 ideas, there you can recycle it so follow this
1. go to earth911.com website and submit your city or zip code. They are picking your waste polystyrene from your home and recycle this.
2. Cut your waste polystyrene in brick pieces with hot wire and a knife and drop into the plastic bag for future use.

polystyrene and polythene are thermosetting plastics, once made they can be melted and reshaped like a thermoplastic.
the only way to re cycle them is to use them again yourseld
