Cedar Rapids Pak Mail is a collection center fro the Plastic Loosefill Council. We make an effort to be "green," using what recycled materials are appropriate for a professional packing job. Please take a moment to read our guidelines for what we can and cannot recycle.
We DO recycle:
- Styrofoam peanuts that are clean and separated from other materials.
- Commercial clients, call to schedule large volume pick-up.
- Biodegradable "peanuts" that are clean and separated from other materials. Please do not mix them with Styrofoam peanuts. They have different uses.

Go to www.solidwasteagency.org for recycling options for these and other items.
Businesses or individuals with large quantities of "peanuts" may contact the store to schedule a one time pick up or to be placed on our bimonthly pick up schedule.
To avoid littering, please do not leave peanuts and other recycling when our store is closed.
