Accepted Items

While most styrofoam is accepted, not all of it is!! A good rule of thumb is if you squish the styrofoam and it reverts back to it's original shape, they DO NOT accept it. This is most commonly seen in packing peanuts.

We accept all plastics that are labeled "#6" or "PS" as long as they are clean of any food waste. This label is usually found on the bottom of the product.

Examples of common #6 plastics

- Clear disposable cutlery and cups

- To-Go/food Containers

- CD/DVD Cases

- Yogurt Containers

**NOTE: Please check your items to ensure they have a "#6" or "PS" label even if they are on this list.

Please keep in mind that while we accept and will recycle batteries for free, it does cost us money  to recycle them so once we collect 250lbs of batteries we will have to cap the battery recycling. Additionally we gratefully appreciate and accept donations! your donations are what allows us to continue putting on these events and recycling items like batteries!
