Help improve the health of the planet, people, and animals! Pioneer Library System is partnering with Churches Caring for Creation to recycle your clean foam into usable plastic.

Help improve the health of the planet!  Foam takes 500 years to start decomposing and in the process leaches harmful chemicals into the environment.  PLS is partnering with Churches Caring for Creation to recycle clean foam into usable plastic.  Drop off your clean foam in the Shawnee Public Library parking lot and watch it be compressed and transformed into reusable plastic using the mobile Hybrid Styro Densifier.
