Help us prevent litter around Kitsap by bagging your Styrofoam and securing your load [ [link removed] ] before heading to the Fairgrounds. If possible, transport your Styrofoam in an enclosed space, such as your backseat or trunk. If transporting your Styrofoam in a truck bed, make sure to strap down your bagged Styrofoam with a cargo net or tarp?it?s the law!

*What happens to collected Styrofoam?*

DTG Recycle will densify collected Styrofoam into blocks that are sold into global recycling markets. The material most often becomes picture frames.
