If you find yourself swimming in wrapping paper after your holiday gift exchange, here are some helpful tips for proper disposal:
Traditional Wrapping Paper:
– Remove all ribbons and bows and place in the Blue Box with your paper recycling
– Paper wrapping paper is recyclable even if it has some shiny accents on it (like gold stars or silver stripes)
Bows and Ribbons:
– Save for next year
– If damaged, place in the garbage
Cardboard Tubes:
– After you have used the whole roll of wrapping paper, don’t forget to recycle the cardboard tube with your paper recycling
Foil Wrap:
– Place cellophane gift basket wrap and shiny foil wrapping paper in the garbage
We hope your holiday season has been full of joy and peace!
