A free block foam collection event for Clark County residents will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Fisher’s Landing Transit Center, 3510 S.E. 164th Ave.

Recycling block foam packaging saves space in garbage carts and reduces the impact on landfills. Another block foam collection event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan.2 in the Yellow 1 parking lot at Clark College.

Polystyrene and polypropylene block foam will be accepted. The foam can be any color, but it must be clean and bagged or boxed. No plastic-wrapped yellow urethane foam, hot tub covers or packing peanuts can be accepted.

Only Washington-licensed cars may participate. All participants must remain on site until staff have examined and accepted the material; unacceptable material will be returned to participants for disposal.

The program also allows businesses to bring in small loads, no bigger than what will fit into a passenger or cargo van, at no charge. Larger business loads should be taken to Total Reclaim at 5805 N.E. Columbia Blvd., Portland.

For more information about this program, call city of Vancouver Solid Waste Services at 360-619-4120 or Clark County Solid Waste at 360-397-6118 ext. 4352.
