What am I supposed to do with these giant styrofoam chunks? The curbside pickup won%26#039;t accept them, and it doesn%26#039;t make much sense to add 5 sq feet to a landfill. These are the kind that came packaged with the vacuum cleaner

Much %26#039;styrofoam%26#039; these days is made from potatoes ... try getting the styrofoam you have wet. If it seems to %26#039;melt%26#039; then just put it into a large pot of water and let it sit for a few days ... when you come back, it will have disappeared. If it is the %26#039;old fashioned%26#039; styrofoam, try calling an elementary school or middle school near you ... they can use the styrofoam in art classes there, and may appreciate your donation! 50% 1 Vote

• Seaslife has offered good advice if the outcome does not require long distance shipping.
  
  But we have another option. It acts as a good insulator in the roof space. One can fill up the space above existing insulation, or if there is no insulation use it as main insulation.
  
  Do not attempt to blow them with any device that you toss them into a fan... the fan can set them on fire if they clog it. 0% 0 Votes
• Try donating them to an elementary school. They could cut them up and make stencils for art projects. Or to some other type of place. Styrofoam is sold at craft stores, so it%26#039;s nice you would be able to donate such a great amount. 0% 0 Votes
