PUBLIC
Foam dropoff fees at all Far West Fibers locations and our plant are as follows:
               •  $5 per carload [vans included]
               •  $20 for trucks under 24 feet
            
   • Call to set up large recycling events, fund raisers.
               • Please bring exact change

You don't need to mark your materials, but do clean them if possible. We don't take trash bags full of "mystery" material, anything with tape, hardware or random goo.

In the interest of reducing carbon emissions, we encourage the public to make dropoffs when they have a full carload, rather than making several trips with partial loads.
