Putting this up for free to see if someone wants it, instead of dumping it. My Styrofoam recycle vendor will not take this stuff due to it being cased in plastic.

My shop is in Kent, if you want it its yours. I just need it gone by tomorrow afternoon.

Is it all 'peanuts'? I will need a few thin sheets (1/4"-1/2") and a few thicker ones (1.5"-2") - all 6'-8' long x 2'-4' wide.

This looks like the spray in expanding foam, hence why they are still in bags. Typically used to super-secure equipment for shipping, because the foam will expand into all the nooks and crannies of the equipment, locking it in place. We used it often for shipping jetski motors.

You could take these and rip sheets into them with a saw and a jig.

Correct, these are filled with spray foam. We have large industrial copiers & printers sent from all over the world packed in this stuff and nothing ever is damaged. Great stuff, but I just hate to put it in the trash.

Ikea has recycling I think, not sure if they'd take it.

That's where we usually go but they will not take this.
