Well guys today was a huge day. Lots of class so i wasn't around all day. But when i got back I did a little research made many phone calls and I found it....The UPS Store recycles styrofoam. I called and they also recycle blue insulation rigid foam. As design students we face using many different materials for site and building models. Our townhouse is full of design students and we make a mess with many different materials. We spend many hours developing these models. I was using this foam for a site model and The UPS store recycles it. Its in Chestnut Hill in the Market Square Shopping Center on Crittenden St. between Mermaid Lane and Willow Grove, the address is:
The UPS Store # 4744
7715 Crittenden St.
Philadelphia, PA 19118-4421
PHONE: 215-242-2800
The gentleman was extremely nice and informative. A great Idea would be to set some sort of styrofoam collection bin outside the A&D center and we can throw all of our styrofoam collected in there and maybe once or twice a month, physical plant can drive it do this location in chestnut hill. That would be a great way to get the entire school involved because I do we use a lot of styrofoam as design students.

Jonathan, you have struck gold(maybe i mean green)here! I like this idea so much that I am going to bring this up at SOSA's group meeting on Friday.I want to make this one of our biggest priorities. I will give you full credit for the research and invention of this creative solution and see about making it an initiative that we can support. I know I won't stop until it is a very real part of our University's recycling system. It just makes so much sense. When they say "thinking outside the box", this is just what they mean. great work!
