Please see below checklist to help recycle polystyrene offcuts:

  • As a customer of an EPSA member, you should have been provided with the EPSA Recycle Bags so your polystyrene off-cuts can be picked up and put it back into manufacturing sustainable building materials.
  • Clean Polystyrene Only. There must be no trace of glue, paint, labels, render or cement on the polystyrene. All polystyrene must be free from contamination to be recycled.
  • Do not place other building materials and site rubbish within these bags.
  • Once the bags are full, they need to be fully sealed, tied down and secured at the front of the building site.
  • Contact your supplier (EPSA member) when recycle bags with off-cuts are read to be picked up.

Please ensure these steps are strictly followed – we will not be able to collect polystyrene that is contaminated.

Thanks for partnering with us to divert polystyrene from landfill and contribute to the recycled content of future products.
