How to recycle large (computer) foam pieces?
Our local recycling doesn’t accept foam pieces, such as the ones protecting computer monitors. Local shippers DO accept styro peanuts, but not these big chunks.
Anyone have ideas? I’ve looked on the net without much solution. I’m in Seattle, WA.
By recycle, I mean also re-use. I’ve email Hewlett Packard asking if they would accept the foam back for re-use, but haven’t heard from them yet.

You should be able to find a recycler to accept styrene plastic. Thats what the stuff is. Its reusable. Your recycler may not accept certain plastics because they don’t have the means to reprocess them.

they’re great for recording studio walls and ceilings to muffle sound.
grind them up and make through pillow stuffing…
just toss them in the garbage like everyone else? so in another million years they can re-use them for fuel or something.
you can’t kill the earth…you didn’t create it.
