Beverly, Salem Styrofoam Recycling Events Set For June

SALEM, MA — Beverly and Salem — the two coastline neighbor cities that have combined efforts as part of the Resilient Together project — will each host a recycling event for styrofoam packaging on the same weekend in June.

Residents will be able to drop off products such as packaging for television sets and those products will be recycled into such items as insulation for walk-in refrigerators or boat seating.

Food service containers and "peanut" packaging cannot be accepted at this event.

The Beverly dropoff will occur at the Beverly Public Library lower level during hours of operation on June 23.

The Salem dropoff will occur at the Community Life Center at 401 Bridge Street from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
