Styrofoam
ﾂ* More specifically , the shaped foam that things like ceiling fans
come packaged in . Where do you dispose of this stuff ? We don't have curbside trash pickup - hell , we don't even have curbs . The recycle center here doesn't want it , I don't want it ... I don't want to burn it , toxic smoke and residues . Oh what to do , what to do . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

Polystyrene is recyclable but a lot of recycling places don't want to deal with it. I throw it in the regular trash. Our recycling trash receptacle will take polyethylene bottles but will not take polyethylene bags. They take tin cans but not pieces of iron - stupid. |

Styrofoam in a brand of extruded polystyrene plastic made by Dow Chemical. What you have is expanded polystyrene molded to a shape. Some places take it for recycling, however, it it bulky and either needs to be compressed/densified or ground for re-use by an EPS molder. Unless nearby it is expensive to ship. Makes great fuel in a trash to energy plant as it is 18,000 BTU per pound and helps other soggy trash burn. It gives off carbon monoxide and soot when burned so you don't want to breath the smoke from an open fire. In your case it would be best to toss it into a dumpster next time you go to town. Some places do take it but I have no idea where you are so can't help. |

He had it sitting in his driveway, still almost empty. One afternoon he went out for a few hours and when he came back it was full. Cops told him it happens frequently. He had no cameras or anything to show who did it. And he was screwed, he had to pay for another dumpster. He said what went in there looked like household trash and stuff. If it was me, I'd be so ****ed I would have gone searching to try to find stuff with names and addresses and try to track down where it came from. I'd bet there is a good chance if you found an address and went there, you'd find they paid someone to do cleanup and take it away and maybe even paid a disposal fee. Then I would go to the cops and press charges. But he didn't investigate. |

You are in the boonies. I would burn it along with other stuff you probably burn like yard waste. Before they started recycling pickup here I would burn plastics in the fire place. They would help the fire and bring warmth. Another thought is you might find use for the waste in home insulation. Crumbled up and added to flocking type insulation in attic should not be a hazard and will improve insulation. |

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. |

Ban those cheap coolers for food. Won't someone please think of the children? |

It decomposes over the entire period releasing toxins the entire time. Without the exposure to the sun and elements, it will decompose very slowly and the release of toxins will be far below the ability of the earth to assimilate them. I opened up a wall with rigid foam insulation planks recently that has been here for a half a century and it looks and feels brand new. OTOH I pick up foam in the river that hasn't been in the weather more than a year that is badly decomposed. |

Surely disposing of them properly (e.g. recycling or landfill[*]) is sufficient. [*] In most states, landfills are required to collect and treat any leachate. |
