Turn Your Trash Into Slash

Waste to Waves lets you recycle your Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam (Styrofoam) into new Eco-friendly surfboards. Just drop off your waste packaging foam at ZJ Boarding House where it will be picked up, grinded up and then shaped into new foam surfboard blanks. Recycling your Styrofoam keeps it out of our dumps and ultimately off our beaches, waves and oceans.

You probably got EPS foam packaging when you bought a new TV, computer, or furniture. Most cities don’t let you recycle this, and it just feels wrong to throw it into the trash can, so why not turn it directly into a new surfboard blank?

You can win a FREE surfboard by T. Patterson made from recycled foam and painted by surfer/artist Mike Losness!

They accept:

• Clean, white EPS foam from packaging materials (such as what came with your new television)

They do not accept:

• Food waste contaminated foam – it will contaminate the blank
• Foam “peanuts” – these aren’t EPS foam
• Broken surfboards – instead give them to Rerip.org

If the foam has been used to hold food, or is soft or flexible, they can’t make surfboards out of it; please drop off only hard white foam used in packaging.
