Shredded Paper
Instructions
Place shredded paper in the blue recycling cart in a paper bag labeled 'shredded paper.' Do not put loose shredded paper in the blue recycling cart as it can cause litter during collection and during the paper sorting and baling process. Alternatively, you can take your paper to a professional shredder who will dispose of it properly.
Alternatives
Use digital tools to avoid using paper and only print things when you really need to.
