ACSI Trip Off-Topic Conversation
Jean Ann (handing Wesley a Styrofoam cup after we're all settled in the vehicle): Here's the rest of your coffee.
Wesley: Oh, I didn't drink it all? Gotta make sure I get my dose of polystyrene. (As he tips up his cup, Jean Ann says to me "He hates drinking out of Styrofoam cups.")
Wesley (continuing): Every American tested has traces of polystyrene--or whatever the chemical is--in their body tissues.
Arlyn: You would have to burst my bubble--just when I was beginning to feel better about Styrofoam because it's recyclable.
Me: It is? I didn't know that.
Darrell: You probably should stop worrying about it. In future generations we'll all be made of plastic and then we won't bleed if we get cut.
Me: Assuming people will still be able to reproduce in future generations--unlike what is apparently the case for mice that have been fed GMO foods.
********************
While driving in Kansas City traffic:
Arlyn: This traffic gets my adrenaline pumping.
Me: It gets mine pumping too--for a different reason than yours.
Wesley: That worked.
**********************
I'm glad I like "us" when we're together outside of school.

Is Styrofoam recyclable locally? Because of the triangles I have been recycling these Styrofoam containers, but recently I decided to quit since the instructions on the dumpster specify "no Styrofoam". It's mixed messages and I'm still not sure which one to believe. --LRM

Is there a Nisly employee who can set us straight?

To answer the question - styrofoam is not recyclable as far as we are concerned. Our sorting facility doesn't accept it. Thank you for not including it in your recycling.:)
