Title: Polystyrene chips - anyone want them?
Post by: jennym on November 12, 2006, 17:44:52

I frequently have lots of clean polystyrene chips (peanut type - about 3 dustbin bags full a fortnight) and am having problems disposing of them, am prepared to post provided cost of postage is paid, or you can collect if anywhere near junction 25/26/27 of M25 or junction 4/5/6 of M11.

jenny, just a thought...if no takers here, try your local Freecycle perhaps?

Hi, I would love some for packaging on E-Bay, any idea how much it would cost to post a bag full though?
Kathi :)

Are you sure they're not made from starch? Have you tried dissolving one in water? Maybe you know this already but a lot of people don't realise... you can compost them if they are...

Kathi - A box about the same size as a dustbin bagful costs £4.95 to send by standard parcel post, please pm me if you are interested.
OllieC - definitely polystyrene unfortunately.
Alishka - thanks, will also try freecycle.
