| EPS (Styrofoam) Recycling Service Pilot Project |
|
On December 1, 2020, the Municipality of Kincardine partnered with Second Wind Recycling, for the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Recycling Service Project. Second Wind Recycling provides the Municipality with a densifying and removal service of all post-consumer EPS packaging delivered to the recycling depot, and ensures it is recycled by a registered recycler. Commonly referred to as Styrofoam, EPS is largely used in packaging and food service products. The petroleum based material is composed of 95% air and is not biodegradable. Due to its fragility and low weight, it is a common pollutant in the natural environment. EPS has become even more prevalent with the growth of e-commerce and bulk shipping. From Dec 1, 2020 - December 31, 2021, the project diverted 6.9 transport truck (full 53') loads of Styrofoam from our landfills - that's 686 cubic yards collected in 13 months!
Accepted materials must be clean and dry. As well, all tape, plastic, stickers, cardboard and other contaminants attached to the foam must be removed and dropped off at the Armow landfill, 437 Sideroad 15. See list of acceptable items.
