Thanks again to Amanda Pratt at Rumpke for the facts.
If you weren’t already including all these things in your curbside recycling bins and drop-off points, now you can! Remember whenever possible, remove yourself from mailing lists and use the backside of your paper for notes and grocery lists. Then, clean up the counter and fill your recycling container with paper, paper, paper!!!
