I know this is a hard pill to swallow, but it is actually more environmentally harmful to recycle paper than it is to just make new. Go out and rent a copy of "Penn and tellers: bullshit" season 2 disc 2 and watch the episode on recycling. I didn't believe it either until I watched the episode. It's very well researched.

Depends on the area and the recycling facilities, we cannot recycle christmas wrap in my area because of the dyes used apparently but birthday wrap is OK?!?!

do what i do to help save the planet. if the paper is good quality and in good condition, open it safely and reuse next year, not being tight but doing my bit 4 the planet. another thing, instead of buying notepads to write down reminders etc, use old letters, cut them into as many equal sizes as u want, turn blank side up then staple together, u have ur own homemade note/memo pad, cost zero.

whilst somebody provides me a Christmas modern-day, i do no longer open it. I purely go away it interior the wrapper for the full 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, then provide it back to them next Christmas. each and every couple of years, i alter the call tag too.

I'm pretty sure here in Cumbria you can but I wouldn't put it in my compost bin as it doesn't feel as though it would break down easily.

It's ok as long as it's not shiney or the foil type, if it absorbs water then it's ok
