... if you can recycle Styrofoam peanuts?

This week's question is: Can you recycle Styrofoam peanuts?

Answer: All the little foam pieces that come in most packaging are actually technically referred to as polystyrene. Unfortunatly, no place in Germantown takes or recycles Styrofoam. However here are the three closest places where you can drop off your used Styrofoam in Maryland:

• I SOLD IT ON EBAY 12101 Darnstown rd. Shops at Potomac Valley Gaithersburg, MD 20878 (301) 990-2040 
•  Pak Mail 2490 Route 97, Suite 5 Glenwood, MD 21738 (410) 489-0360 Pak Mail 10070 Darnestown Road #23 Rockville, MD 20850 (301) 610-0479 
•  Pak Mail 21800 N Shangri La Dr. Unit#3 Lexington Park, MD 20653 (301) 863-9812
