Styrofoam Now Accepted at Leduc's Eco Station
As part of a one-year pilot project, the Eco Station in Leduc will now accept white block Styrofoam for recycling.
This service enhancement will allow residents to drop off limited quantities of Styrofoam at the Eco Station for free during regular hours of operation. A mobile processing unit that uses new technology will collect the Styrofoam from the Eco Station one or two times per month. For full details, check out Leduc's page HERE.
