Technically it may be illegal but not as blatant as filling a dumpster.

Great tip from a democrat on how to make someone else pay for trash
disposal.
I didn't see your idea posted. Did I happen to miss it?

Mine was "bury it". I bet out in the boonies like that he has a
machine or knows someone who does. Use the bucket to compress it as
much as you can and bury it. Environmentally, you are "sequestering
carbon". That is supposed to be a good thing.

Sure. Bury it. The styrene monomers and other chemicals leech
into the groundwater and your kids drink it. Good idea.

That stuff is pretty stable ... for 10,000 years if you believe the
hype. That is why it is used so much for food containers and coffee
cups.

Don't confuse the amount of time that it takes to completely degrade
(which is 500 years for styrofoam) with the time it takes to start
leaching benzine and other chemicals which happens over the entire
time period it is buried.

That 500 years assumes UV from the sun is hitting it.

Irrelevent. The material doesn't wait 500 years then suddenly
decompose completely. It decomposes over the entire period
releasing toxins the entire time.
