Climate Week: Styrofoam Recycling and Mount Trash-More Demo

Your Solid Waste Advisory Committee and the Brookline High School Environmental Action Club, in conjunction with ReFoamIt LLC, will be collecting clean Styrofoam stamped with the #6 triangle recycle symbol. We will have a display showing the recycling process for Styrofoam.

Please bring the following:

  • Styrofoam packing peanuts
  • Styrofoam packing blocks
  • Styrofoam plate and food trays
  • Styrofoam coffee cups
  • Styrofoam meat and produce trays
  • Styrofoam coolers

All items must be clean. Please remove all paper, tape, labels and food
particles.

How much does the average Brookline resident throw
away in a year?

Mount Trash-More, a SWAC (Solid Waste Advisory Committee) built
mountain of a year’s worth of the average residents waste. Come discuss with members of SWAC how we can make a mountain into a mole hill.
