Get Rid of Styrofoam and Donate to a Food Pantry, Sunday
The recycling event at the Department of Public Works facility also benefits the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry in Watertown.
Styrofoam comes from all sorts of places, blocks holding electronics in their box, peanuts used in shipping, coffee cups and to-go containers from restaurants.
These items cannot be recycled in the normal curbside pickup, but Sunday the Watertown Citizens for Environmental Safety will host an event to allow residents to get rid of their styrofoam.
The event is free, but organizers encourage attendees to bring canned or other non-perishable items to donate to the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry at St. Patrick's Church in Watertown.
