Salem and Beverly are partnering once again to host Styrofoam Collection Day on Saturday, June 20, 2026 from 10:00am – 1:00pm.

Hold on to your Styrofoam – Casella (formerly Save That Stuff) will collect it to recycle! This will be a drive-through event June 20 at the Community Life Center, 401 Bridge St, Salem, MA. Residents of Salem and Beverly may participate.

Please bring only rigid white expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam). NO squishy foam, packaging peanuts or food service containers, such as meat trays, clamshells, or Styrofoam cups can be accepted. At this event, we will also collect broken string lights and extension cords for recycling.

While Styrofoam cannot be recycled curbside, Casella has densifiers that can process the material for recycling. We’re excited to offer residents a way to sustainably dispose of their Styrofoam!

Please stay in your vehicle the whole time and have items ready to unload in your trunk, truck bed, or hatchback.
