One of the most ubiquitous yet most difficult to reuse substances has found a local recycling home. Recology is now accepting styrofoam at its recycling venue in McMinnville.
Recology has been planning to add styrofoam to its recycling repertoire for some time. Recently the company was able to refurbish a machine that compacts styrofoam down to about 1/50th of its ordinary size. The new substance is hardly foam but instead a material that can be cut and molded like a dense plastic.
Recology estimates that, at the rate consumers have been dropping off styrofoam at the center, it will take about three years to fill one truck with the compacted material!
It's time to stop chucking that stuff in the landfill. Get it out of the garage and take it to Recology now!
Recology Recovery Zone is located at 2200 NE Orchard Avenue next door to Greenlands.
