Plastic #6, also known as polystyrene or Styrofoam, is not typically accepted in Toronto's recycling program because it is difficult to recycle and has limited end markets. It is also lightweight and can break easily during the sorting process, making it challenging and costly to recycle. Residents are encouraged to reduce the use of #6 plastic products and explore alternative options to minimize its environmental impact.

∙ 15y agoThe City of Toronto is now accepting Type 6 plastics (polystyrene) at some city drop-off depots. According to the city, the reason they were not previously accepting Type 6 is that the only recycler of this type of plastic had closed its doors. However, the Canadian Polystyrene Recycling Alliance (CPRA) is now accepting this material. Reference: http://www.toronto.ca/garbage/index.htm
