Foam products can be dropped off at the Oxbow Eco-Center, located at 5400 NE St. Lucie Drive in Port St. Lucie during daylight hours or the St. Lucie County Landfill and Recycling Center, 6120 Glades Cutoff Road in Fort Pierce Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
