A to Z Guide

Most greeting cards and wrapping paper (except for foil and mylar wrappings) are fine to place in your recycling bin. Just remove ribbons and bows (and set them aside for reuse) and recycle the cards and wrapping paper along with other mixed paper.

NOTE: Please do not recycle greetings cards and wrapping paper made from mylar or metallic foil or if they have a significant amount of glitter or felt on them. These items should be placed in the trash.  How can you tell if it’s paper?  If it rips like paper, it is paper and you can recycle it.
