<br />Curbside Recycling
<br />and Shredded Paper
<br />Shredded Paper is recyclable just like most
<br />other types of paper. The difference is that
<br />uncontained shredded paper is difficult to
<br />sort from other material and clogs the
<br />mechanical sort systems. This interferes
<br />with recycling of shredded paper as well as
<br />recycling of other items.
<br />Please contain your shredded paper by tying
<br />it off in a clear plastic trash bag. This will
<br />allow for your shredded paper to be hand
<br />sorted and recycled as you intended. These
<br />bags are available at most grocery stores,
<br />hardware stores, office supply stores, or you
<br />can order them direct from Borden
<br />Waste -Away Service.
