Huge Dumpster Filled In Styrofoam Recycling Event
The material will be reused instead of ending up in a landfill.
MENDHAM, NJ — A Mendham Styrofoam recycling event ended up with a 20-yard dumpster full of the stuff, meaning a good bit of Styrofoam will be recycled instead of ending up in a landfill. A release from Mendham says the event was held on Jan. 11.
Residents dropped off their unwanted Styrofoam at the borough's Public Works Garage, and officials called the event a "huge success."
The 20-yard dumpster was filled to the top. The material will be sent to Foam Pack Industries in Springfield, New Jersey, where it will be reused.
