There it is:

sedonarecycles.org

"Sedona Recycles is proud to offer recycling of Styrofoam (expanded polystyrene foam). This labor-intensive process is great for the environment, but results in a large financial loss for our operation. We are so grateful to our Styrofoam recycling sponsors, whose donations make this program possible."

"In 2017, Sedona Recycles recycled 5 tons of Styrofoam, saving: 3,189 gallons of oil"

They saved 3,189 gallons of oil in 2017...so about 13 gallons per day based on 250 days per year. Thirteen gallons of gasoline costs about $30. If the employees' time and lives are considered worthless then hopefully the employees working the styrofoam didn't use 13 gallons of gas per day in total getting to and from the recycling center because that alone would make recycling the Styrofoam a net pollution generator.
