 Prepare before you go
Help us prevent litter around Kitsap by bagging your Styrofoam and securing your load 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.
