Great American River Clean Up Foam Drop-Off

Employees from Dart Container's Lodi manufacturing facility will join thousands of other volunteers as they pick up trash and debris from the American River Parkway, enhancing a 23-mile stretch of the river. In addition to its support of the Clean Up, Dart is hosting a one-day foam collection where residents can recycle their used foam (mistakenly called styrofoam) and help divert waste from local landfills. This year’s drop-off will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at the William Pond Recreation Area (where Arden Way enters the Parkway). During this time, Dart will collect all clean with the #6 "chasing arrows" symbol foam for processing, which can include cups, plates, and protective packaging foam which is often used to protect electronics items like televisions and computers.
