2025 Styrofoam Recycling Event
Calendar Date:
It's peak retail season! Please don't toss your styrofoam! Recycle It at our FREE Collection Event!
The Sustainability Advisory Committee has partnered with the Gilford NH transfer station to offer styrofoam recycling on January 4th from 9am-11am. We are still working out details on the location but encourage you to save your styrofoam packaging and avoid adding this unnecessary waste to our landfill.
Gilford has a styrofoam densifier system where clean styrofoam can be compressed into a product they sell to manufacturers that re-use it to create things like styrofoam insulation and other products. It saves them money because styrofoam is a bulky expensive item to trash and they turn it into a commodity. The Sustainabilty Advisory Committee has been advocating for a similar system here in Exeter. To learn more about the process and the level of interest, the Sustainabilitiy Committee is hosting this collection event.
More details to come soon!
