Styrofoam Collection Drive

On May 19, 2019, Green Ridgewood collected 22 huge 7ft by 4ft bags of EPS (expanded polystyrene). At about 10 lbs. a bag that's 220 lbs. (remember how light styrofoam is...) plus half a truck of loose pieces means we probably collected 300 lbs of styrofoam! 

Through a Sustainable Jersey Bergen Hub grant, we were able to put on this drive and give the collected material to Foam Pack in Springfield, NJ to recycle. 

During the 4 hours we were at Graydon Pool parking lot, over 100 people signed apetition to ban XPS and recycle EPS in Bergen County.
