My local recycling center (in the SF Bay Area) accepts styrofoam blocks (though the machine is down right now). Unfortunately, storing and transporting bulky styrofoam is cumbersome for individuals, so it's not very scalable.

I wonder why? Sounds like it's impractical to recycle.

Maybe it's funded by the city, so it would be free for people there, since they've already paid for with their taxes?
