Question by Randy K: What can you do with scrap polystyrene?
Having plastic model building,as a hobby, I’m left with A LOT of plastic “trees”, (what the parts are connected to, sometimes called “runners”) left over. Can these be sent to a recyclers? If so, where or who can these be sent to?

they are called sprues in most modeling circles, and the overcast from models that you scrap off usable pieces, that is called flashing or “flash”
what i normally use them for is to make diffrent pieces of terrain and such for games, or bend them using heat sources and make useful little things like picture holders or a cat toy ball that rolls erraticly…
but you can also take them to a local recycling depot and put them in with the plastic recycles,
