Can you recycle shredded paper? Can I put shredded paper in our normal paper recyling bin?

Best Answer

Shredded paper works great with bedding for small animals. If you have any amount, you can donate it to wildlife people who take in injured animals, etc. You can offer it on Freecycle. You also can google the uses of it and might find some other way.

• Shredded paper makes a wonderful healthy substitute for high carb, high fat pasta. Just make sure you spray it well with varnish before cooking so it doesnt get soggy in the pot.
• yes
• South Kesteven District Council says that put it in a plastic bag and then put that in your grey recycling bin.
  You can put a little bit in your black composter but don%26#039;t over do it! (Same as too many grass cuttings are not a good idea) Email from SKDC
• Of course you can.
  Paper doesn%26#039;t have to be a particular size.
• Check in with the particulars of your city. While shredded paper is physically recyclable, your recycling center may not be able to take it. I know in my city, they don%26#039;t take it unless it%26#039;s in a plastic bag.
• Recycling shredded paper is possible.
