Styrofoam and Textile Recycling Drive
Sunday, January 29 – Wednesday, February 22
Breezeway vestibule
Did you know most discarded textiles end up burned or in a landfill? And discarded Styrofoam takes hundreds of years to degrade. But you can help by bringing Styrofoam and textiles to St. Philip’s for our winter recycling drive.
What to bring:
Styrofoam
Clean and dry food containers, cups, egg cartons, packing materials, Styrofoam coolers, etc. No Styrofoam peanuts or dirty items. Styrofoam only, please! If it looks like Styrofoam but is a little squishy, it’s not Styrofoam!
Please remove tape/labels from coolers. Remove bar codes from egg cartons. Cut Styrofoam clamshells at the hinges, then nest them (and cups) in a small box or paper bag.
Got large Styrofoam? Call Duncan (706-255-3138) to arrange a drop-off.
Textiles
Clean but unusable clothes, shoes, purses, linens, curtains, underwear, socks, leather items, etc. (Please no fabric scraps or soiled items.)
Got lots of textiles? Contact Leslie (919-638-9417).
Where to bring it:
Put your Styrofoam and textiles in the boxes in the breezeway vestibule from January 28 to February 18. You can even get in the habit of saving Styrofoam and textiles – we’ll hold more recycling drives in the future.
Want to help out?
We could use a few volunteers to help haul away materials! If you can help, call or text Duncan Krause at 706-255-3138.
