Do you have Styrofoam occupying your home, filling up garages, corners and closets? Then bring your (clean) Styrofoam to a free collection event on Saturday, April 18, sponsored by WSU Snohomish County Extension Sustainable Community Stewards.
The event will run from 10 a.m. to noon in the western parking lot of McCollum Park, 600 128th St. S.E., Everett.
