Foam recycling available at both Newcastle, Blanchard Libraries on Saturday

Newcastle and Blanchard Libraries will have a foam recycling operation at their locations from 1:30-3 p.m. Saturday at Newcastle and from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at Blanchard.

Organizers said, “If you have foam drink cups, meal trays, busted ice chests, packing material, with the exception of foam peanuts that are just too difficult to keep from blowing away, or any other foam items, then you will be happy to know the foam recycling operation will be available.”

Be sure all items you bring are very clean or they can cause problems for the densifier (foam-melting machine). If there are tomato sauce stains, those are okay. Unless the wind is too strong, the densifier will be working Saturday.
