From April to October, Drop-off Refuse and Recycling events in Toledo will be held 26 times! It means that Toledo will bring 26 opportunities the whole year for residents to drop off items that are difficult to recycle. Styrofoam, one of the accepted refuse and recycling items, is one thing that troubles residents a lot. In the long run, Toledo’s measure will help people get rid of the nightmare of Styrofoam piling up in their homes.



Styrofoam packaging shows up in everyone’s home. It is bulky in size since 98% of it is air. Most of us have no idea about how to dispose of it. We know that Styrofoam is non-biodegradable. If Styrofoam cannot be recycled, it can cause increased pollution and climate change. What’s worse, human health can be exposed to danger. So, Styrofoam recycling events like this one are quite significant.



Do you know? Styrofoam may come back to your home again. The recycled Styrofoam can be made into new products. They can be home decorations, moldings, picture frames, and so on. By taking full advantage of recycling, we can give Styrofoam waste a brand-new look and turn trash into treasure.

To achieve this goal, Styrofoam recycling must go through a series of processes. After being collected from residents, the Styrofoam will be sent to recycling sites, where it will be compressed into blocks, melted down into ingots, or shredded into pellets, according to the differing applications. Those recycled Styrofoam can be sold to manufacturers to make into new items that we mentioned before. You see, Styrofoam recycling is not difficult but easily done with machines.



It’s not just Toledo, but many more cities and regions are getting into the act. “The city is able to bring you an opportunity to each neighborhood throughout the whole season.” said the Urban Beautification Commissioner of Toledo. Striving for convenience and benefit of residents is the point of recycling programs; protecting the environment and saving the planet are the whole point of recycling initiatives. INTCO Recycling has been rolling out various Styrofoam recycling machines and unique methods for disposing of Styrofoam waste. INTCO is excited at the prospect of Styrofoam recycling.
