I wonder where Starbucks send all their waste?


Dammit, who keeps changin' the smilies???

Or, if you have a lot of the stuff, but you need to have loads, and to buy a compacter to store enough to be worth collecting...

FP International (UK) Ltd.

Collects and purchases consumer compacted expanded polystyrene material, which is dry and free from any contaminants, for processing into loose fill and wood sub-products.

Boundary Road, Brackley, Northants, NN13 7ES

There are plenty of others will be a contractor in your area, but you will need loads before they are interested.

Interesting thread. Polystyrene is great for insulation and I would have thought packaging like you are talking about would be ground up for beads, obviously not from what the guys are saying.

That's what I thunk Dave.


We should start up a polystyrene grinding business venture?

Thanks for the info guys.hope you can keep the idea's rolling in.

I'll try and take some pics over the next few days and add to the post. we have a yard between the shop and the rear workshop and it's full of the soddin stuff. Trouble is, when it's wet it makes the ground slippy and the tv engeneer stuggles like mad trying to carry sets through on his own.........

Just one of the many problems............

I managed to talk the boss into selling a load of the old cables we have..........OH
unless anyone wants some white PVC cables...................heheh e wink wink.

Most of it's off to the s****pie sooooon. wanted to get something sorted with this polystyrene before I go away. I'll keep digging and hope that something turns up.
A compactor sounds good, at least if they were into blocks we could stack them. These funny shapes are a sod to stack!

Thanks again for all of your ideas!!
