"STYROFOAM" - EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE or EPS

Q: Why Should I bother recycling my "Styrofoam" (EPS)
A: The easiest answer is that it will take 500 years for EPS to break down under normal conditions. As a consumer nation, we use a lot of EPS in packaging (electronics, furniture, toys, appliances, food, shipping, etc.) and then pitch it, creating a problem that will stay with us for hundreds of years to come.

Save your styrofoam and recycle it!
UPDATE 1/19/20
Sorry to announce that Phoenix Recycling has removed the ability to recycle EPS from their services. Local and State laws prohibit the stacking of combustible materials over 5' in warehouses without a costly high-efficiency sprinkler system and this has pushed us out of the ability to serve in this function. Thank you in advance.
