Help save the planet!
All
three of our iSold It stores are members of the Plastic Loose
Fill Council, and are now official “Peanut Hotline” collection
centers for expanded polystyrene (EPS) loose fill
packaging--better known as foam “peanuts” or “popcorns”.
The next time you receive a box filled with foam peanuts,
don’t throw the packaging in the trash! EPS occupies a
tremendous amount of space in landfills, and it is not
biodegradable.
Instead, bring your clean foam peanuts to
any of our iSold It stores. We will
reuse them in our outgoing product shipments. In fact, EPS
peanuts can be reused many times, saving the natural resources
used in producing them, and reducing landfill waste.
The Peanut Hotline, founded in 1991, is the Plastic Loose
Fill Council’s nationwide program for reusing packing peanuts.
By calling the Hotline toll-free at 800-828-2214 or visiting
loosefillpackaging.com, residents anywhere in the country
can learn which local businesses accept foam peanuts for reuse
or recycling.
We are proud to be helping our neighbors in the community
save the planet...one “peanut” at a time!
