How to “Recycle” Your Old Foam Board

As you may know, foam board, being an oil-based product, is not, strictly speaking, recyclable.  However, it can be re-used.  To retain client confidentiality, you can peel off the print that is glued to the face of the board.  Art and architecture students are very pleased to receive the donated pieces.

Through this program, we support students at the following schools:

Houston Independent School District's High School for the Performing and Visual Arts
http://www.hspva.org

The High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA) of the Houston Independent School District evolved in 1971 from a realization that gifted young artists need highly specialized and rigorous training in the arts to be prepared for the intense competition they will meet in colleges, conservatories, and the professional arts world. The creation of HSPVA represented the first attempt by any public high school in the nation to correlate an academic program with concentrated training in the arts. Also, it was one of only three public schools in the nation to offer programs in both the visual and performing arts, and the first such institution in the Southwest. For HISD, the formation of HSPVA represented a dramatic departure from traditional comprehensive programs. Ultimately the school became the pilot school for today's magnet school concept.
