Thanks for visiting My Organized Biz and leaving your comment. It is a good idea to check and see if your recycling facility accepts shredded paper and how they want it packaged.
At our recycling facility, which accepts shredded paper, they do want it bagged or boxed, not tossed loose into the paper collection or even the general trash, allowing it to fly all over the place. So since it can be recycled with the regular paper and non corrogated boxes, we package it in paper bags or cereal boxes. If you toss it in with the regular trash, at least tie it into a plastic bag.
So when you’re excited about recycling, make sure what you’re doing is helpful and follows the desired procedures. Otherwise it could all be for naught.
