Styrofoam Recycling Event
Bring your clean Styrofoam packaging to us! Perfect for getting rid of those foam blocks from deliveries, electronics packaging and more.
Plus, in addition to Styrofoam recycling, the Washington Township–Centerville Public Library will be on site collecting the following items for recycling: air and home care items (including cartridges, plugs, spray bottles, and trigger heads), drink pouches, oral care products and packaging, razors, sauce packets and snack pouches.
It’s a great chance to clear out hard-to-recycle items and make a positive impact. Let’s work together to keep our community cleaner and greener this Earth Month!
Everything From Nothing: Full Circle Quest
Everything From Nothing is a conversation series hosted by quantum foam studios, exploring ideas and challenges shaping our communities. This Session: Full-Circle Quest!
Rethinking sustainability through use, movement, and transformation, exploring how existing resources can be reimagined for lasting impact.
Sustainability is often framed around cutting back or doing less. This conversation takes a different approach, focusing on how we can better use what’s already around us.
From the materials we interact with every day to the systems and ideas that shape our communities, this discussion explores how small shifts in thinking can create lasting impact. It’s about looking at what already exists and asking: how can this be used differently? How can it continue to evolve and serve a purpose over time?

Afterwards, join us at The Silos for an optional Earth Day social gathering.
