EPS materials that can be recycled include appliance packaging, fruit and vegetable boxes and similar products that are free of all labels, stickers, tapes, strappings, packing films, plastic wrap, hard plastics, adhesives, etc.

Foam cups, meat/food packaging trays, takeaway food containers, packing 'peanuts', bean bag fill etc., are not recyclable and must be disposed of in your kerbside general waste bin (red or dark green lid) or as residual/landfilled waste at your local waste management facility.
