With the holidays upon us and the days of unwrapping gift close at hand, you may be wondering what to do with all that paper? Here are some tips on what can be recycled and how. This should also help you as you choose wrapping for the gifts you give.
Recycle the following with chip board (light cardboard-cereal/cracker boxes:
Hemp and raffia tie
Craft bags
Wrapping paper, gift bags/tags & cards without wax, shiny, metallic, or glossy coatings
Butcher paper
Newsprint art paper and newspapers
Shoe boxes
Can be recycled with plastic bags:
Soft plastic wrapping. Like all those tiny bags that cords and toys come in. At the recycling center, I was told any plastic wrapping that DOES NOT crinkle loudly or stiffly. Good rule of thumb.
Here's one you may not know could be recycled with aluminum drinking cans:
Aluminum foil and aluminum foil pie shell tins!
This should help keep the holiday mess a little more on the GREEN side-have fun!
