Foam, styrofoam or polystyrene cannot be recycled. It must be placed in the red or green lidded rubbish bin, where it will be sent to Landfill.
Examples of foam items include:
- Meat trays
- Protective packaging
- Foam cups
- Bakery trays (black plastic).
Large quantities of foam/polystyrene can be taken directly to the Yeppoon Landfill or a Transfer Station. For more information on these drop-off points visit our Facilities page, which can be found by touching the "More Information" button on this app.
