Styrofoam coolers
Looking for place to take/recycle Styrofoam coolers. I have half dozen large Omaha Steaks shipping coolers to get rid of..
speill Just a thought. Perhaps inquire at the Lords Pantry at Trinity church. They may have a use for them from time to time.
Greg I had two a few months ago... gave each one to friends to keep in their trunk for odds and ends.
Had another one and just threw it in the trash.
Embryodad The styrofoam you are talking about is not the part that was packed in the meat, right? These are containers that only ever touched things that were already wrapped? If the styrofoam in any way touched meat like that, it would be contaminated and no recycling center will accept it.
If it's uncontaminated and marked #6 then you can put it out with your regular mixed recycling. They take all numbers 1 through 7.
GC I have Sanico for garbage/recycling and their recycling guide says no styrofoam. I don't know about any of the other collection services. http://sanicoinc.com/recycle.pdf

Sally23 The coolers, if big enough, make great outside houses for cats. Cut a small hole in it and fill it with straw and you have a nice warm place for an outside or feral cat.
4paws I could also picture one of those coolers/cat shelters blowing away on windy day. You'd definitely need to weigh it down with something.
3wbdwnj GC, your cat wood eat Styrofoam?
And yes you would have to put something heavy on top of it.
Yeah.
I know.
I eat styrofoam. I eat card board too. This is my scratching pad with all the tasty bits on the floor. I eat those. And do you see the front of it's torn? I chew it. Tasty.
At least I get my daily fiber, right??
My dog ate styrofoam once. The first time he was offered ice cream, he didn't know how to lick the spoon, so we tried letting him lick the styrofoam cup and he took a bite out of it. He barfed up the the styrofoam, looking exactly the way it did when he bit it - 10 days later. Ugh. Thankfully, he has since learned how to lick a spoon!
