[GreenYes] Polystyrene Food Containers

["Aluotto, Jeffrey" <Jeffrey.Aluotto@hamilton-co.org>]

We had a question from a resident regarding the polystyrene containers that
come wrapped with meat products (poultry, etc.).  The resident was wondering
if that material could be finely chopped and used for aeration purposes in a
home garden.

Does anyone have any information on the stability of that material over time
or its suitability for this purpose?

Thanks,

Jeff
