RE: Paper recycling
Now that's a great tip, thanks Spinal Music!
RE: Paper recycling
It's a really good question, but it can be moot if you live in some areas such as ours. The authorities actually do fine people at times if they don't recycle in the way requested, and they want paper separated out, and separate from compost. [&:]So for us, that's that.
RE: Paper recycling
You have your compost picked up? I've never heard of that! How does that work? Is there a community heap where you can pick up some 'finished' product for your gardens? Do tell!
RE: Paper recycling
It's common over here killchar, now. I see you're in the USA. Europe is very crowded so all kinds of laws are coming in that this or that must be recycled, not all included in one load of trash. We are running out of spare ground for land-fill. So all that can be is re-used. Our newspapers and all paper, when used, is collected up again and most is shipped to the Far East to be made into paper for re-use. Compost ... obviously it's used for agriculture somewhere, but I don't know where!

RE: Paper recycling
yep, i read somewhere that theuk's landfill sites will be full to capacity within the next nine years..
we're lucky where we live as our local council run a very good scheme, making it easy for people to recycle.. we have a bin for houshold waste, one for recycling and another for garden waste.. so, according to the council,i'm not allowed to mix paper with mine either.. mind you, i was quite surprised to find that i couldn't put my veggie peelings in.. i will have to make my own compost heap at the bottom of the garden i think..;)
