Foam Collection Events
UPDATE: Collection will now take place on the first and third Tuesday of each month. Effective January 2024
Henderson County is excited to start their Foam Polystyrene (PS) Collection Pilot Program. On special collection event days, Henderson County residents can now recycle clean and empty foam packaging including; meat trays, cups, take-out containers and egg cartons, as well as transport packaging used to protect TVs, appliances, furniture and other valuables during shipping. Foam products should be prepared just like other recyclables, empty and clean items should be provided for recycling.
Foam cannot be recycled with your curbside recycling.
Four simple steps to recycling foam in Henderson County:
- Empty the container (Rinse if the item contains food or liquid residue).
- Ensure containers are clean and dry. Remove any tape or stickers. Do not bag foam.
- Bring to the Henderson County Convenience Center during a foam collection event or bring to a Hard to Recycle event.
- Place in appropriate recycling.
