Recycling Your Paper

Most local authorities already supply a recycling service for paper and cardboard but it’s always helpful to get rid of as much sticky tape as possible as it helps the recycling process. Next year you could also try to buy paper which is made of recycled materials to further your positive impact on the cycle.

Saving Your Paper

Don’t just toss wrapping paper, boxes, ribbons, bows, or other gift wrap accessories that are in good shape. You can preserve recycle wrapping paper of all kinds by unwrapping your gifts carefully and save wrapping for crafts as well as future celebrations or holidays.
