muggle Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I have just filled 4 bin bags with shredded paper and just realised Lambeth does not accept it for recycling - any ideas what to do with it?

Earl Aelfheah Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 4 bin bags? What were you shredding... a tree? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/50275-shredded-paper/#findComment-790182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Aelfheah Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I would go through the bags, painstakingly matching each of the related strands, taping the sheets back together as you go. Then place them in the recycling. Sorted Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/50275-shredded-paper/#findComment-790185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 advertise it on here as packing/moving stuffing - it's great for ornaments/breakables. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/50275-shredded-paper/#findComment-790205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red devil Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 FWIW...Southwark will recycle shredded paper as long as it's put in a large envelope or paper bag...

Robert Poste's Child Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 They take mine. I just put it in a bag inside the blue recycling bin. I checked with a passing binman and he said it was OK.

Robert Poste's Child Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I re-read the OP and realised that as I'm in Southwark my comment wasn't very helpful, sorry.According to the Lambeth page on what can't be recycled:Shredded paperBecomes tangled in the sorting machinery at the materials recovery facility. Please only shred personal information. Shredded paper can be used as pet bedding or placed into compost bins. Otherwise place it into your refuse bin from where it will be used to generate electricity Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/50275-shredded-paper/#findComment-790284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
