Paper Recycling

Paper recycling is the process of turning waste paper into new paper products.

Successful recycling requires clean recovered paper, so you must keep your paper free from 

contaminants, such as food, plastic, metal, and other trash, which make paper diffi cult to recycle. 

Contaminated paper which cannot be recycled must be composted, burned for energy, or landfi lled. 

Recycling centers usually ask that you sort your paper by grade, or type of paper
