Repurpose your Packing Peanuts 

December 13 - January 18

Bring your clean, dry, bagged styrofoam packing peanuts to the bin in the vestibule of the Community Center to be redistributed to small businesses all over Chicagoland!

Packing peanuts are not recyclable in your curbside bin and either end up in landfills or blown into our waterways. Since most are made of polystyrene, they contaminate the environment over the hundreds of years it takes for them to break down, and can be mistaken for food by birds and marine life. 

Go Green Northfield, in partnership with the Northfield Park District, is working with EcoShip, a Chicago 501(c)(3), to redistribute these packing materials to area small businesses for reuse. This not only keeps packing peanuts out of our environment, it also saves these small businesses money! It’s a win-win!
