#SalemMA and #BeverlyMA - #StyrofoamRecycling Event – Save Your Styrofoam!
Saturday, June 20, 2026, 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Community Life Center, 401 Bridge St, Salem, MA
"Salem and Beverly partner once again to host Styrofoam Collection Day on Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 10:00am – 1:00pm. Hold on to your foam, as Casella (formerly Save that Stuff) will collect it to recycle! This is a drive-through event at the Community Life Center, 401 Bridge St, Salem, MA. Residents of Salem and Beverly may participate.
"Please bring only rigid, white, expanded #polystyrene (#Styrofoam). No packaging peanuts or food service containers, such as meat trays, clamshells, or Styrofoam cups can be accepted. While Styrofoam cannot be recycled curbside, Casella has densifiers that can process the material for recycling. We’re excited to offer residents a way to sustainably dispose of their Styrofoam! At this event, we will also be collecting #StringLights and #ExtensionCords for recycling."

💁🏻♀️ TIL: ♻️🧪 Researchers at #Aarhus University in #Denmark converted #polystyrene from #Styrofoam cups, takeout containers, and CD cases into a solid material that captures CO₂ from #air and smokestacks.
The two-step process adds amines to the #plastic, creating a sponge that grabs CO₂ when cool and releases it when heated for reuse.

I spent a half an hour this morning picking up single use plastic and styrofoam and other materials such as glass and rubber items. I do this once or twice a month on this section of Atlantic shoreline in the Florida Keys. I could have spent 5 hours and still not have gotten it all. Plastic bottles and bottle caps, styrofoam of various sizes, shoes, toothbrushes, rope, hoses etc. Millions of years from now, long after humans have killed themselves off, I hope that Mother Earth may be restored -

Is there really no easy way of getting #styrofoam small enough to dispose of it? (without setting it on fire)

My afternoon's beats here in the Studio of Love™ provided by Styrofoam's 2004 album "Nothing's Lost".
I discovered Styrofoam because of "Couches In Alleys" due to Ben Gibbard supplying vocals.

🚨 #PSA my Lovely #Crafting Peeps!
(This includes you if you have ever so much as reattached a broken-off handle to a coffee mug!)
Have found A Useful Site (if you need it) & Lovely Rabbit Hole (if you don't):
A website of recommendations for gluing This To That (#fabric to #leather, #ceramic to #vinyl, #styrofoam to #rubber, etc.), plus a trivia page & funny FAQs.
Also available en français
Enjoy! 😊

#California has effectively banned the use of most expanded plastic foam food containers as of January 1. These are, among other things, the ubiquitous cups commonly referred to as "Styrofoam" (although technically a Dupont brand name). The #EPA estimates that less than 1 percent get recycled overall.

Surprise field recording opportunity of the day: Rain on sheets of styrofoam 5 cm (~2 inches) thick.
Well surprised how liquid / grease bubbly, or even sort of ”applause” this stuff sounds like :)

On this #earthday, you can start doing your part. Filter your home water and buy glass or metal containers to port it around instead of buying water filled plastic bottles that are barely and rarely recycled. Buy your meat and fish wrapped in paper, not plastic film on a bed of styrofoam. Tell your local restaurant to use the new paper and compostable boxes instead of often black plastic (totally non-recyclable) containers or styrofoam clamshells. The more people that choose, the more the people who want to engage with us change.

Bola Edwards is Promoting African #Heritage for Children Through Her #Fictional Character “Grandma Wura”
#Bola #Edwards’ living room has been transformed into a giant stage. Large #styrofoam #books stand tall while an oversized pencil crafted from plywood balances on a brown wall. The opposite wall is a fuchsia pink. The space looks like a classroom from a child’s whimsical #imagination.
In the middle of the room stands an armchair upholstered in the swirling patterns of African textiles. It is here, at the centre of things, that the fictional grandmother character “Grandma Wura” comes to life, sharing stories with young African minds around the globe.
Ever since the character’s debut in 2015, Grandma Wura has been integral to Edwards’ work with her company, Proud African #Roots.
She founded the #creative #arts company with her husband, Patrick, in 2013, a year after leaving her corporate job. Their mission was to raise a new #generation of African leaders by blending African arts and storytelling with tangible lessons on values and leadership. Their strategy was multifaceted – leveraging stories, #music, and drama to #educate their young audience.

Our society moved away from #styrofoam not to save the planet, but because the psychopath class doesn't want us to have readily available #napalm.
