Styrofoam Recycling

NOTE: Green Oakwood Volunteer Shuttles

The next Montgomery County Styrofoam recycling event will be held on Saturday January 3rd, at Activity Park, 221 N. Main St, Centerville. For a limited time (between 9.30 to 11.30 only) Green Oakwood volunteers will offer a shuttle service for Oakwood residents, from Foell Public Works Center, to the drop location for you. Those with large amounts will be directed to take the Styrofoam to the county event. You are also reminded:

• Please ensure there is no food waste on your Styrofoam.
• Styrofoam peanuts are acceptable in a plastic bag, but Cornstarch peanuts (which dissolve in water) are not.
• No black Styrofoam, nor spongy foam, nor film (these can go in your Hefty ReNew bag)
• Please do not leave Styrofoam at Public Works outside of the times that Green Oakwood has published we are collecting, and when there are no collectors present. In this instance the Styrofoam is not recycled as it cannot be stored, and is a nuisance to City employees and your neighbors as it blows around the neighboring properties.

Green Oakwood cannot run this complimentary service without volunteers. If you have a vehicle and approximately 90 minutes to spare on Saturday 3rd January (to load up and do the run to Centerville) we would really appreciate your assistance. Please reach out on our contact page. Thank you for helping to reduce both city costs, and the environmental impact of Styrofoam going to landfill.
