What's a good way to dispose of an academic planner.?

Question

I feel guilty throwing it in the garbage because the majority of it is made of paper that could be recycled. However the cover is plastic and its spiral bound so I don't know if I should recycle it.

Answer 1

Cut off the spiral binding and remove the covers and then recycle the paper within.

Answer 2

First, in the academic planner is there confidential information? Aside from that how about shredding by pulling out the pages and shredding them numbers at a time. I know its tidious but the recycler will thank you.

Answer 3

just recycle the paper and throw the binding & cover in the trash
