Styrofoam

Styrofoam is NOT a recyclable item through the Winnebago County Landfill or with our recycling service through Harter’s.

Please do NOT place any kind Styrofoam in your recycling cart!

Please contain Styrofoam in a garbage bag, inside your garbage cart, to avoid it flying around the neighborhood on collection day.

There has been a change with Styrofoam collection through Outagamie County.  Please see the article attached to see how to recycle Styrofoam with them.  If you are willing, your clean Styrofoam can be taken to the Outagamie County Landfill for free. The county’s polystyrene foam densifier only accepts expandable polystyrene foam. This includes clean food packaging, such as foam egg cartons, takeout containers and cups. They do not accept packaging peanuts or flexible polystyrene, which is usually used to transport technology. Neither is made from pure polystyrene foam.
