Saturday, June 20, 2026, 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Community Life Center, 401 Bridge St, Salem, MA

"Salem and Beverly partner once again to host Styrofoam Collection Day on Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 10:00am – 1:00pm. Hold on to your foam, as Casella (formerly Save that Stuff) will collect it to recycle! This is a drive-through event at the Community Life Center, 401 Bridge St, Salem, MA. Residents of Salem and Beverly may participate.

"Please bring only rigid, white, expanded #polystyrene (#Styrofoam). No packaging peanuts or food service containers, such as meat trays, clamshells, or Styrofoam cups can be accepted. While Styrofoam cannot be recycled curbside, Casella has densifiers that can process the material for recycling. We’re excited to offer residents a way to sustainably dispose of their Styrofoam! At this event, we will also be collecting #StringLights and #ExtensionCords for recycling."

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: ♻️🧪 Researchers at #Aarhus University in #Denmark converted #polystyrene from #Styrofoam cups, takeout containers, and CD cases into a solid material that captures CO₂ from #air and smokestacks.

The two-step process adds amines to the #plastic, creating a sponge that grabs CO₂ when cool and releases it when heated for reuse.
