Right now we've got some hellish mix of the both.
And lest I get into a rant, why in the blue hell can we not recycle styrofoam? I got an angry note on my Blue Bin for having packing styrofoam in there, I figured that was a mistake, of course styrofoam is recycled. Right? Right?
Nope.
I spoke with the City and styrofoam has to go in the Black Bin or to the dump.
So we had done a number of small improvements at home and everything comes packed in massive amounts of styrofoam so I either pack my entire black bin with the crap and have no room for actual garbage for two weeks or I load up my car and go to the dump with an enormous load of weightless BS.

I wait until we have a huge snowstorm and then I shred it and then set up a fan in the alley.
