The Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois, received a $50,000 grant from the Foodservice Packaging Institute's Foam Coalition (FRC) that enables residents to recycle materials, such as foam polystyrene cups, plates, bowls, clamshells, egg cartons and meat trays, as well as block packaging foam, at its local drop-off center. The FRC grant assisted with funding the purchase and installation of a foam densifier at the Mount Prospect Public Works facility. Densifiers are used to compact foam products into foam blocks or ingots.
