consider how you would recycle them yourself
eg soaking the tissue and other fiboruos material 'til you have a pulp, then spread on mesh screen. - Then it should be quite easy to decide if the contaminant is suitable for recycling or not.
as for coffee cups either use ceramic or other dishwasher safe material and re-use. or re-use as seed pots etc. don't put in recyc bin. eg on Cuban trains you have to take your own cup(don't trade with people who don't care about wasting resources or pollution, it's your planet .)
remeber the sequence: Reduce, Repair, Reuse, recycle.

No, tissue paper and paper towels can't be recycled, dirty or otherwise (at least not around here; maybe it's different elsewhere). Waxed paper can't be recycled either. I don't buy milk in waxed paper cartons any more. I get the recyclable plastic containers.

In Roman situations they used a sponge on a stick that they ran in working water for cleansing their bums. you ought to attempt that. In different cultures and contexts, aspects inclusive of rags, sand, leaves (including seaweed), the left hand, corn cobs or sticks are used. I doubt all of us could elect the job of recycling your used paper. however as each and every physique has pronounced you will get rest room paper created from recycled paper. i think of that in case you're recycling paper, then that's the superb thank you to bypass as you're then helping to end the recycling circle. there is no element recycling in case then you definitely bypass out and yet issues created from style new aspects.

Tissue paper is not recyclable, but the coffee cups are.
We have to wash our garbage here in Phx, we are in the middle of a drought, but we must wash our trash - go figure!

Yes and yes. As long as it isn't 'laminated' it is recyclable paper.
