Default Where to dispose Styrofoam bulks?

I have plenty of protective packaging foams (Frequently used to protect electronics during shipping).

Will Publix accept such bulk sizes? If not, where can they be recycled?

I don't think that stuff is recyclable

I put a lot of the styrofoam packing in clear poly bags,
and then put it out with recyclables on garbage day!

I was told by the recycling people, NO Styrofoam in the recycling, I had so much that it filled 2 boxes 3 ft by 2 ft by almost 7ft, it all went in the trash. This interesting, because back up north, they recycled this all the time.

I got the reply from Publix - glad to accept my Styrofoam bulks as long as they are in big plastic bags. Thanks for your comments.
