Hi
For small amounts of paper is it better to recycle them or compost them? I guess you can't put too much in the compost but I wondered if it was better to recycle or compost?
Maybe neither here nor there? Just thought I'd ask anyway 🙂
Thanks, Carly

good question!
RE: Paper recycling
I don't know the answer specifically to your question, but following my last house move, I collected up all the removal firm's wrapping paper and took it to a local animal rescue centre ... 10 black bags full!
They were very glad to have it, and were going to shred it to make bedding for the animals.

Not sure I know tbh,
whatever you do with it though , for security cross shred it so no personal info gets into the wrong hands.

I'd say compost - there are no transport costs involved and the paper acts as moisture retainer. Just don't put a lot in, otherwise it won't rot down - and I presumeglossy mags aren't going to rot down well, though I don't know. We put newspaper/paper towelin ours and it's ok.
My grandad always used to line his veg trenches (particularly runner beans) with newspaper before filling them in to keep the moisture in.
