Don't recycle -- reuse!
"Most stryrofoam does not have much recycling potential.......but it can be reused! The most common sources of stryrofoam come from meat/food trays, egg cartons, and packing peanuts. Some companies have seen the low potential of recyclability of packing peanuts and have developed biodegradable forms of packing peanuts, made from things like cornstarch. Thumbs up to those types of companies who are thinking about the environment. Let's do our part as well - and have some fun with the styrofoam that comes into our kitchen."

I have no idea. I guess styrafoom just has not been implamented into the program yet. What I get a kick out of is the fact that there are sooooo many people that don't even bother participating in the recycling. Sometimes I think, why bother? But, I still do it.

Start a movement. Contact friends, neighbors, and interested parties. Tell them to collect all the unused Styrofoam and bring to the following place. Leave it there for consideration:

I read somewhere that styrofoam can not be recycled or reused in any way. Unfortunately, that means landfill. I'm sorry.

It makes nice craft projects for kids. Christmas ornaments and such.

Try bringing it to your grocery store. They will bail and condense it with theit boxes.
