Manchester wants to recycle your package packing

December 25, 2000 By admin

An Iowa business is asking you not to toss the styrofoam “peanuts” which protected your holiday packages. A northeast Iowa business is leading the effort to get people to recycle the packing material to prolong the life of landfills. Doug Robbins owns “Mailboxes and Parcels Depot” in Manchester.Robbins says the program’s success will depend heavily on the amount of packing plastic and styrofoam northeastern Iowans bring in to recycle, instead of throwing it away.Robbins says the store has developed a plan to better educate people about the project.For more information on recycling areas near you, call the Plastic Loose Fill Council’s “Peanut Hotline” at 800 828-2214 or surf to the council’s website at “www.loosefillpackaging.com”.
