No offense to anyone who may have sent me any large packages recently, but I hate styrofoam packing peanuts. They're difficult to clean up, usually come in very large quantities, and cannot be put in curb-side recycling. If I were to throw them away in the regular curb-side trash, they would cost me $5 a bag as overflow, with several bags worth for a large box. Not to mention putting a large volume of non-biodegradable stuff in a landfill.
Thankfully, some shipping places take styrofoam packing peanuts for re-use. Find one in your neighborhood using the
Plastic Loose Fill Council Collection Center finder. Two UPS Stores in Seattle show up in a search, so I'm hoping the one a few blocks from my house will be willing.
