Lynnwood, Washington — Residents looking to responsibly dispose of electronic waste and Styrofoam can take part in a special E-Waste and Styrofoam Collection Event scheduled for Saturday, January 3, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Lynnwood Operations and Maintenance Center.
The event will be held at 20525 60th Ave W, Lynnwood, WA 98036, where attendees are asked to follow on-site traffic control instructions.
Organizers emphasize that Styrofoam must be clean and properly sorted. All tape and stickers must be removed, and only rigid Styrofoam is accepted. Soft Styrofoam will not be collected at the event. Materials should be brought loose or placed in clear plastic bags only to allow staff to quickly inspect for contamination.

However, Styro Recycle does accept #4 LDPE soft foams and other materials year-round at its Kent drop-off center, located at 23418 68th Ave S, Kent, WA 98032, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
