State Road, or other area locations as detailed below. Polystyrene food and beverage containers can be dropped off at the DPW recycling drop-off site, 1800 E. In addition, use reusable containers to store leftovers, snacks or meals. At restaurants, you can ask for leftovers to be packed in aluminum foil, which is more easily recycled. As an alternative, use table settings and containers that are reusable or designed to be composted. Reduce polystyrene or Styrofoam™ use when possible. If I can't put it in the curbside recycling bin, where can it go?

Bubble wrap and packaging pillows can tangle up in the gears of recycling trucks and the sorting equipment at the MRF. Even though these items might have recycling symbols on them, they can’t be recycled properly in the curbside collection system. Packaging material such as Styrofoam™ (foamed polystyrene), bubble wrap, packing peanuts and packaging pillows are not recyclable curbside due in part to their structure.
