Can shredded paper be placed in the recycling bin?
Shredded paper becomes like confetti in the Materials Recycling Facility The air separator and trammel are not designed to process paper particles smaller than a regular flyer. Smaller particles should be composted or placed in the rubbish bin. Shredded paper collected from an office generally goes directly to a paper recycling facility, rather than a sorting facility. Therefore in a paper only recycling collection sometimes shredded paper is accepted.
