Where Can I Recycle Polystyrene?
Where Can I Recycle Polystyrene?
Polystyrene is often overlooked when it comes to recycling but if your business handles it regularly, finding a reliable disposal route is essential.
Regenthill provides commercial polystyrene recycling services across South England, helping businesses responsibly manage this challenging material.
Why It’s Not Accepted in Local Schemes
Most local authority services do not accept polystyrene because:
It’s too bulky and light for efficient transport
It often arrives contaminated
It requires specialised processing not available in council facilities
That’s where Regenthill fills the gap, offering scalable solutions for commercial clients.
What Kind of Polystyrene is Accepted?
Regenthill primarily processes Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), the foam-type material used for:
Protective product packaging
Insulation boards
Cool boxes and fish crates
We do not currently accept contaminated food containers or general-purpose polystyrene items unless otherwise agreed.
How Our Service Works
Consultation – We assess what type and volume of polystyrene you produce
Collection – Arrange regular pickups or one-off clearances
Compaction (optional) – Advice on equipment for reducing volume
