A Few More Volunteers Needed for the Foam Collection! TSARC is in need of a few more VOLUNTEERS to help out at the Foam Collection on April 2 collection from 9am-2pm. CLICK here for SIGN UP GENIUS to help! The Transfer Station and Recycling Committee (TSARC) will hold a foam collection on Sat, April 2 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm in the swap area of the Transfer Station. Please bring appropriate types of foam (expanded polystyrene) in clear or white leaf or trash bags: YES!!! Packing foam- used to ship electronics, appliances, etc. Foam coolers Foam egg cartons Foam food trays- colors accepted; must be rinsed, clean, and dry Tip: if it snaps cleanly, it is the correct material. If it bends, is spongy or breaks into pieces/granules, it is not recyclable by our vendor. All items must be clean and dry. We cannot accept any material in contractor or trash bags of any color per the vendor. All material packed that way will be returned to the owner for proper bagging or disposal. Clear leaf bags are available at Wills in Medfield and other hardware stores. NO!!! Foam wrapping sheets Foam urethane- spongy packing material; may be used in mattress toppers Pluck foam- spongy, ridged packing material; may be used in mattress toppers Dirt, dust, leaves or spider webs Labels, tape or paper attached Drinking cups Packing Peanuts We hope Medfield residents will help make this collection a success by respecting the guidelines listed above. Anyone who attended the collection last year will recall that traffic got severely backed up, leading to frustrating wait time. Please be part of the solution by bringing the correct items in a clear or white bag so they can be quickly collected and we can keep the line moving smoothly.
