==your address
==where the items will be located (preferably by the curb, away from your normal trash pickup)
On the morning of the pickup, please put the material in plain view, or let the volunteers otherwise know where the materials will be for quick access.
A couple of notes based on the rules of the CHaRM facility that recycles these items:
Styrofoam #6 rigid white block foam (typically used for packaging electronics); or sheets of rigid white foam.
NO shipping labels or tape on foam,
NO packing peanuts,
NO “Styrofoam” (polystyrene) cups,
NO “to-go” boxes (clam shells) or meat trays
Only plain white, rigid Styrofoam
Please no materials or dirt in the Styrofoam
===Unfortunately, we will have to leave any Styrofoam items that CHaRM will not accept.
Scrap Metal
Any items that are at least 50% metal.
Condition does not matter.
Items that are reusable may be given to the Resource Center at the ECO-CYCLE facility.
