I was looking for a styrofoam recycling center anywhere near here. An answer below is incorrect. Styrofoam is recyclable, but it is generally not profitable. There is a styrofoam recycler near Doylestown, PA. The trick is to make it a central location and have people bring their own and just collect it. Once enough is collected it can be very slightly profitably be recycled.

Great place to recycle boxes and at times they offer free mulch! You can't beat that 😁

Questions & Answers

I have a metal spreader; it has wheels. Can I recycle it at the center? I tried to take it apart, but cannot because of arthritic hands. Thanks.

Is wood excepted as recycling?

Avi Mizrahi | Aug 7, 2022
Jere Bermudes | Aug 7, 2022

No, only cardboard glass and metal. Wood goes with yard waste if it's a dead tree, or with the trash if it's processed, like particle board or lumber, put it out on your regular trash day.

Do you take large wooden panels, e.g. from a computer desk?
