Styrofoam packing "peanuts" can be given to mailing companies (such as Mailboxes Etc.).  They reuse them, or sell them to other mailing companies.  Some mailing stores won't accept them, however, because they don't know what was shipped in the "peanuts".  Some eco-conscious companies are using cornstarch "peanuts" to ship in; these peanuts are biodegradable.
