To make sure you have a successful EPS recycling experience, we recommend the following:

  • Once you have identified your closest collection site, call them to verify drop-off times and check what types of polystyrene they accept 
  • Make sure your EPS is clean and free of any contaminants (eg. stickers, tape, plastic film, loose parts or glued on cardboard)
  • Please note that a service charge may apply and this will vary between sites
EPS National Mail-Back Program

If there is no EPS recycling in your community please send it via Australia Post to the address below. 
  • To maximise your recycling efforts via the mail-back option we recommend the following:

  • Make sure the EPS is clean and free of any plastic film, loose parts or glued on cardboard

  • Package EPS securely into a cardboard box or postpak - to increase the amount of EPS mailed back, it can be easily broken or cut into smaller pieces so that more foam can fit into each box. All cardboard from these boxes will also be recycled.  

REPSA does not accept extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam including meat trays, cups, egg cartons, or other disposable foodservice items for recycling.  Please do not send these items as they will only be disposed of. 

Packing peanuts are also not accepted for recycling as they are not always made from expanded polystyrene and therefore can contaminate the recycling process.
