If you were asked, you could proba
bly guess what our Monthly Recyclable is this month. Correct! It is wrapping paper!
You know what we are talking about. As all the gifts are snatched open by the kids (and the young-at-heart), wrapping paper piles start to build. If we throw this in the trash it will go to the landfill.
Good thing there is another, more eco-friendly option: Just recycle it!
It’s easy to do. Collect the paper every time a gift is opened. At the end of the celebration, place the paper in your Curbside Recycling bin and your local hauler will pick it up and make sure it doesn’t go to waste.
Got more creative ways of recycling your wrapping paper? We’d love to hear your ideas in the comments section below.
Keep recycling right and Happy Holidays!
PS: If wrapping paper isn’t your thing and you want to take your holiday greening a step further, come back next week for alternative options to traditional gift wrapping paper.
