Dart Container of North Carolina has opened its newest post consumer foam collection center. The facility is located in Randleman, N.C. It is Dart’s first location in the state. The facility will accept all foam plastics with the No. 6 located on it.
The new site is one of the state’s first public sites to accept foam food service containers, and is the company’s 13th drop-off location in the country.
“We’re thrilled we’re able to make foam recycling possible in North Carolina and we look forward to hearing feedback from residents and businesses who we hope will utilize this free benefit,” says Michael Westerfield, corporate director of Recycling Programs at Dart Container Corp.
“There’s no limit on how much you can bring – we’ll take as much as the public brings us as long as it’s clean.”
"I am pleased to see that Dart Container is providing an opportunity to recycle foam in Randolph County,” says North Carolina State Senator Jerry Tillman. “The company's new drop-off site, which is free to the public, will provide a valuable service to the people of North Carolina."
