Foam Packaging (AKA, Styrofoam) is only accepted at SARCAN depots, not in your blue cart. Not all foam types are accepted. In general, if the foam snaps, it is accepted. Shiny & flexible foam sheets should be recycled as Flexible Plastics.

♻️ Recycle these at SARCAN:
• Plastic air pillows & bubble wrap

Big shopping weekend? 📦 After the deals, recycle the packaging: flatten cardboard and keep paper dry for home collection; take flexible plastics and foam packaging from deliveries to a SARCAN depot. Confirm accepted items and a nearby location at https://t.co/WnyCcCZcGz.

[SK Recycles @SKRecycles]

Flexible plastics—like bags, wraps, and many pouches—are drop‑off items. Try the scrunch test: if it crumples and doesn’t hold its shape, it’s flexible. Bring them (empty & clean) to a SARCAN depot and see the full list at https://t.co/WnyCcCZcGz.
