Dart Container Corp: Lancaster

Dart Collects Foam for Recycling throughout the United States Dart facilities receive foam from local schools, community recyclers, supermarkets, hospitals, manufacturing plants, cafeterias, and individuals. To facilitate the recycling process, Dart operates a wash and dry facility that cleans dirty foam so it can be recycled. Once processed, the material then goes to a manufacturer that will use the material to make premium picture frames, crown moulding, and many other useful products. In our home state of Michigan, Dart has built a comprehensive infrastructure for recycling foam products. Dart has established more than 40 polystyrene drop-off locations in over 30 counties. Dart transports the material from each drop-off location to its Michigan recycling center for reprocessing. Dart works with hundreds of public schools and the State of Michigan to recycle all types of foam polystyrene products. The Michigan Legislature praised Dart for its foam recycling efforts in a joint resolution passed in 1991.
