- Our story. We saw a need in the south sound for someone who could process the various types of Styrofoam produced for packing materials. We are one of a handful of recycling providers able to handle all three common types of packing foam.
- Environmentally friendly services. When recycled, the foam’s mass is reduced by 90%. It then goes to a second phase recycle process and then is turned into all the plastic items that we buy everyday.
- We’re part of the community. Don’t fill up your garbage can or the landfill with your discarded and unneeded packing foam let R & D Recycling repurpose the foam and help keep our environment “green”. Call us with any questions at 253-241-1904
- Free drop off. There is no cost to drop off your clean and dry Styrofoam. If you are a company with a large amount of Styrofoam to handle, give us a call and we can arrange to help you.
