- Pitch packing material. Get rid of that Styrofoam stuff sitting in the corner because you don\u2019t know what to do with it. To find stores that will accept your clean used packing peanuts (they reuse them), go to www.loosefillpackaging.com<\/a> or call the polystyrene industry\u2019s Peanut Hotline at 800-828-2214. For those bulky Styrofoam packing chunks, recycling options are limited, but V & G Styro Recycle in Renton (www.styrorecycle.com<\/a>)\u00a0will take them at no charge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
