Recycling Polystyrene Packaging.
7 Answers
How do I go about getting alot of expanded polystyrene packing recycled?
I had a cooker, hob and chest of drawers delivered on the weekend and now I am left with alot of the polystyrene just stuck in a room.
Do I have to contact someone to have it taken away or can I put it out in the recycling rubbish point or down the tip?
I've looked online and there's only 1 place I know of and that's in Kent, which it too far for me to drive to.
Any comment or suggestions would be appreciated.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.the simplest and best way is to get a very small amount of acetone, and put it in a non-leaking plastic bag. (Make it, say, 1 inch deep. Now slowly push the polystyrene into it. It melts like ice in hot water, with incredibly almost no residue. Leave the bag open when you're finished and the acetone will quickly evaporate.
