Styrofoam Recycling Continues

Bins will be located at the public works facility.

Due to a great demand, Algonquin residents can continue to drop off Styrofoam or other foam plastic products for recycling at the public works facility, 110 Meyer Drive.

"We do not have an ending date, it will continue as long as Ken is willing to continue this free service," said Katie Parkhurst, senior planner for Algonquin.

Bins will be located to the right of the building, near the fence.
