Recycle - Plastic Foam Peanuts

By Hklbrries

Dear Readers: Have you received packages that are filled with those plastic foam peanuts? They usually end up scattered all over the place, and then they end up in the trash. Well, I have some good news: There is an organization that recycles them.

First of all, to easily get the “peanuts” together (since they stick to everything because of static electricity), give them a quick spray or two with anti-static spray.
Now, put them in a container and call 800-828-2214 for a recorded message from the Plastic Loose Fill Council, where it will ask for your ZIP code so it can find a business that will accept the peanuts. Most businesses involve packing and shipping.

Keep this information handy, since the holidays are right around the corner and you may have an abundance of packing peanuts. You also can share the number with friends and family so peanuts don’t end up in a landfill.
