How to Recycle 纸 During the Holiday Season

问题: Can I recycle wrapping paper, cards, cards with glitter and other paper items during the holidays?

答: Our homes are filled with cards from family and friends, cardboard boxes from shopping online to find the right gift and wrapping materials to make sure it’s a surprise. Many of these items are recycled at paper mills across the country but some are not.

纸箱

纸箱 that arrive on your doorstep are okay to recycle. Empty the box, break it down flat, keep it dry and clean, then put it in the recycling bin. You do not need to remove shipping labels or tape. 如果你的盒子凹了, 殴打, ripped or even a little dirty from the shipping process, it can still be recycled. 

Greeting cards and envelopes

Greeting cards and envelopes made of paper are usually okay to recycle. If they are covered in glitter or made from photo paper, those cannot be recycled. Don’t worry about removing the stamp from the envelope either.

礼品袋

纸 gift bags can be put in the recycling bin. 然而, gift bags made with plastic or fabric should be reused because they cannot go in your curbside bin. If your paper gift bag has rope handles, 闪光或珠子, those things need to be removed before placing the bag in the recycling bin.

纸 can usually be recycled as long as it’s not glittery, metallic or plastic based.

包装纸

包装纸 can be recycled in many areas around the U.S. 一般, if you can scrunch it up and it stays in a tight ball, it is paper-based and can be recycled. Other types made from foil or plastic wrap, or if it’s covered in glitter, should be reused. 

丝带和蝴蝶结

丝带和蝴蝶结, while pretty, are not accepted in curbside recycling bins. Try to reuse those too.

你能做什么?

Always be sure to check the local recycling guidelines in your area. And, when in doubt, throw it out. Wishcycling -- when we put something in the recycling bin hoping it will be recycled -- disrupts the recycling process.
