Clear out bulky foam clutter by bringing clean Styrofoam to a free collection in the west lot at McCollum Park, next to the former swimming pool area. Snohomish County WSU Sustainable Community Stewards will be on site to receive materials, and the Marysville Food Bank will transport everything to Styro Recycle in Kent. The collection window is brief and truck space is limited, so service will end once the vehicle is full, and materials will not be accepted before the official start time. Items must be clean, dry, and free of tape and labels. Acceptable materials include Styrofoam takeout containers and food trays, bagged packing peanuts that are not the biodegradable kind, bubble wrap, LPDE #4 foam, block packaging, coolers, sheets, and pink, blue, or gray XPS foam insulation. Not accepted are spray-in foam, Insta-Pak foams including gray versions, foil-lined foam, and hot tub covers. Food or monetary donations to the Marysville Food Bank are encouraged. Support comes from Snohomish County Solid Waste. For questions, contact coordinator Kellee Byard at kellee.byard@wsu.edu or 425-357-6027.
