Keep Styrofoam out of landfills by recycling it at GreenCitizen

Styrofoam cannot be recycled in the blue recycling bin. However, it can be recycled at GreenCitizen, which is conveniently located in Burlingame. GreenCitizen will shrink the Styrofoam and create a condensed foam that is used to make surfboards, cameras, jewelry cases, coat hangers, and ceiling molding. Learn more by visiting www.greencitizen.com. If you are unable to recycle your Styrofoam, the best way to discard it is in the black garbage bin.
