Monthly Styrofoam, Plastic Bag and Bubble Wrap Recycling

STYROFOAM RECYCLING INFORMATION

Our Earth Stewardship team sponsors a monthly Styrofoam, plastic bag and bubble wrap recycling event at FVPC on the first weekend of the month. Hard Styrofoam packing material (#6) and clean foam food containers are welcome. As the #6 Styrofoam breaks up easily, please break it down to make more space in the collection bin. No straws, plastic, paper, soft flexible packing foam, packing peanuts, or other materials, please.

If you have questions on Styrofoam recycling, contact Jeff Mengler.

PLASTIC BAG AND BUBBLE WRAP RECYCLING INFORMATION

There is a container just inside the front entrance vestibule for continuous plastic recycling. Please check the poster on the front of the container for instructions. Clean plastic bags and bubble wrap will be recycled. Please turn the bags inside out, to assure there are no receipts, etc., in the bag. Place smaller bags inside a larger bag. Remove any plastic shipping tape from bubble wrap.

If you have questions on plastic bag recycling, contact Harrison Schneider.
