  • source of free styrofoam blocks

    FYI. Our local Lowes has small utility trailers outside that are shipped with 12"x12"x19" solid styrofoam blocks. They let me take eight blocks home (and there were still 18 left behind. I suspect that they end out in a recylcing center or land fill. They are particularly nice since they are all the same size. Most even have a thin clear plastic wrapper. I have not checked out other Lowe's to see if they leave the styrofoam outside the front of the store but its worth checking if you are looking for styrofoam.

      Great tip, I went to the Lowes in B'ham and got 9 of them ,they will be perfect for when I turn the Falls Flyer over and do the bottom and tear the Trailer apart ! Thanks for the tip

        I am glad you found some. I did not know whether it was just going to be my local store. Glad at least one other store hasn't tossed them yet.
