    Hi,

    Over the Xmas, I have built up on polystyrene packaging. From googling, looks like it cannot honin recycle bin or landfill bin.

    What should I do with it ?

    It's extremely flammable, and toxic fumes and drip drip of sticky molten plastic. Otherwise it would be great for insulation. If you've large chunks of it you can use it for buoyancy in canoes.

    Or rub it on a pebble dash wall. Have a white Christmas

    My local recycling centre takes it perhaps it's worth a look to see if one local to you does too?
