Polystyrene is an inactive material that doesn’t decay. When polystyrene is sent to a landfill it will stay there forever. Therefore, it is important that you handle your polystyrene responsibly.
If you handle a lot of polystyrene, compaction and recycling will reduce your total waste handling costs.  When you compact your polystyrene, it takes up less space in your container. You can save money on waste collections and container rentals – and you take responsibility for the environment.
