small quantities of plastic/polystyrene must be bagged and taped up prior to arrival
large quantities must be contained in industrial plastic bags or, if in block form, taped together to make large cubes, prior to arrival.
Expanded plastic/polystyrene that is attached to wood, steel or any other heavy item does not have to be bagged or taped. This may be charged at the expanded plastic/polystyrene fee.

Polystyrene prices apply to commercial customers and over size domestic loads.

Why expanded plastic/polystyrene needs to be bagged or taped
Because of its light-weight nature, it can easily be blown or washed onto road sides, or into waterways, beaches and parks, making it a major environmental hazard and one of the main litter culprits.
The City is obligated by law to address potential environmental hazards.
In extreme conditions, the material may become airborne and cause accidents.

Cover and secure all loads.
Bag all loose or small expanded plastic/polystyrene.
Tape together medium-sized pieces into large blocks.
