NOTE: Recycle My Styrofoam is closed starting August 7th, 2023 while we build new machines. We expect to be open again for November 2023.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your ongoing support of Recycle My Styrofoam. As part of our commitment to continuously enhance our services and contribute to a greener environment, we are excited to announce that our facility will be temporarily closed for improvements over the next two months.

We understand that recycling is important to you, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused by our temporary closure. Rest assured, we will be working diligently to reopen as soon as possible and resume our mission of reducing styrofoam waste and its impact on our planet.

A Bit about Styrofoam
You may not know that styrofoam (Expanded Polystyrene, or EPS for short) is recyclable, and with our help of you can easily recycle yours. If it breaks apart easily and has a #6 recycling logo, its good to go.
Washington residents threw out 12,890 tons of polystyrene foam packaging in 2017, according to a state Department of Ecology report.
That’s about the same weight as two of the large ferries that serve the Bainbridge Island route — and because the material is mostly air, it would occupy an even greater volume.
The good news is that because it's mostly air, styrofoam can be compressed by up to 50:1.
