I get medication and sturdy small to medium sized styrofoam coolers 4 times a year. They are not recycled where I live so I'm looking for ways to repurpose them instead of just sending them to the landfill.

I use mine in big planters. I break them up and fill the bottom so I don't need to add as much soil.
I've seen videos online at YouTube where they make concrete planters.... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+make+a+concrete+planter+from+a+styrofoam+cooler

I am wondering if perhaps your local Food Bank might accept them as a donation?
If you belong to any group (gym library knitting group etc) just bring them in someone always wants them. Someone brings them into our gym class and the ladies fight over them.
Donate to a homeless shelter.
