It gives residents who purchased large items packaged with Styrofoam an opportunity to recycle them, MCES said.
The event will be held at Welcome Stadium from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., on July 16, the release said.
Styrofoam is not accepted in the curbside recycling and can take up to 500 years to break down at the landfill, according Montgomery County Environmental Services.
Eco-Development, a Mason based company, will transport the collection to its facility where the material will be processed and eventually recycled into products like surfboards, picture frames and coat hangers, the county said. Egg cartons and food containers are not acceptable.
