Paper

Most paper can be recycled in your green bin or used to line your compost bin caddy. If shredded it also adds bulk to a compost bin.

 

Shiny and sticky paper such as Post-it notes and glittery wrapping paper cannot be recycled and need to be put into your black/grey household waste bin.

 

Otherwise paper can be taken to Household Recycling Centre and put into a paper bank.
