Every recycling company has its own rules about what kinds of papers can be recycled. Sometimes, they ask for paper to be separated from other recyclables like glass and aluminum. Call your local recycling center to find out how you should sort these items.
Almost half of all solid waste in the United States comes from paper and paper products. Only about one third of these papers are being recycled. It takes years for trees to grow, but just a few minutes for them to be cut down. When you recycle paper, you are saving trees and reducing the waste in landfills.
