Starting July 1, 2016, polystyrene (commonly referred to as Styrofoam TM), polystyrene loose fill packaging (also known as "packing peanuts") and other foam articles are not permitted for sale or use in Prince George's County. [County code is here]Why the Ban? To reduce the amount of polystyrene waste entering the landfill and local waterways, the County is requiring the use of non-foam food packaging products that are environmentally-friendly and for everyone to be "Foam Free in PGC."
[This affects county businesses, not consumers]
