Shredded paper

Some local authorities will accept shredded paper together with your other paper items via your local authority's kerbside collections or at your nearest paper bank. If so: * Make sure it is free of plastic. * Don't put it loose into open recycling boxes as it will blow away! Other local authorities ask for shredded paper to be recycled in the cardboard recycling banks only. Check your local authority's website, or give them a ring to make sure.
