Lots of shipping places will take peanuts off your hands.
The cellulose ones can go in a rain barrel. (the non-cellulose will not disappear)Theoretically, compost.
For large blocks of polystyrene foam, there are places you can ship them to, if your local recycler isn't set up for their bulk.

Recycled/collected here:
cardboard
newspaper
#1,#2 plastic
metals
glass
once a week.
plastic bags go back to the grocery store
I don't burn corrugated cardboard because some of the glues are supposedly fairly nasty when burned.
Chipboard gets chewed as paper.
I have my own paper dump.(treated as leaves)
