Help Recycle Styrofoam

How to recycle Styrofoam.

LIFOAM Industries accepts clean, plain Styrofoam items for recycling from the general public at their plant in Peabody. Items accepted include coolers, packing material, boogie boards and any Styrofoam material that crumbles, but no material that is pressed such as meat and fruit trays.

LIFOAM is located at 2 5th Street, Peabody, exit 28 off Route 128 and is open Monday through Friday 6 a.m to 4 p.m. (closed from noon to 1 p.m.). Material should be brought to the loading dock or into the office.

Styrofoam is also collected on a regular basis at the Swampscott Household Hazardous Waste Day held twice per year.

Although Styrofoam and meat and fruit trays have recycle symbols, these items are not collected with the regular curbside recycling.
