Mercer Island is a city in Washington, United States, located on an island of the same name in the southern portion of Lake Washington. Mercer Island has always been at the forefront of urban construction and has always worked hard to build a better city. To achieve the target of building a better city, in February, this city has begun a polystyrene collection event for free.



Now that polystyrene recycling is no longer denigrated, people are gradually realizing the various benefits that polystyrene recycling brings. In the United States, many cities or towns have purchased polystyrene recycling machines for recycling activities. There are also many, who may not have purchased the machine yet, but have already started polystyrene collection activities. Mercer Island has always made great efforts in recycling. After receiving positive publicity about polystyrene recycling, this city immediately made a decision: calling on residents to collect polystyrene waste together and sell it to recycling companies to be processed.



When Mercer Island called on residents to participate in this polystyrene collection, they didn't expect much. But unexpectedly, on the day of the event, a total of 420 families spontaneously participated in the event. After the event, the amount of polystyrene waste collected was counted, and there were 475 large bags. The collected polystyrene filled two large vans. This surprising figure shows that the public is enthusiastic about polystyrene recycling. After this event, Mercer Island is very confident about polystyrene recycling in the city. Now, the city's manager, Bon, says the city is looking for more partnerships with other recycling companies to recycle polystyrene waste. The success of Mercer Island's polystyrene collection has also set a good example for other municipalities and acted as a motivator. After all, polystyrene recycling can protect the environment, reduce pollution and waste, promote solidarity among residents, and even make a profit.



Mercer Island wasn't the first city to begin recycling polystyrene, but it certainly won't be the last. Under the influence of more and more polystyrene recycling publicity, more cities, organizations, and individuals will join this action. The benefits brought by polystyrene recycling can increase revenue in the short term (polystyrene waste can be sold to recyclers) and establish a good image of the city; in the long term, resource-saving and sustainable development can be achieved.
