Question by Jester: How can you recycle shredded paper?
We, as many people, shred everything with our personal information on it. We were curious what other people may do with the paper besides bagging it up and tossing it in the can for the collection truck to haul it to the dump. Keep in mind, this is paper only. We do have another shredder for cd’s, credit card like plastic and such. We have heard of some people putting it around their garden, but are worried the ink is bad for the soil. Thought’s would be greatly appreciated.

Recycle the paper. Our town has special garbage bins just for recycling paper. There should be a paper recycle drop somewhere in your town since the city council is not environmentally aware.

Don’t worry about the ink. It hasn’t contained lead since the early 70’s when the lead was outlawed. Ink is now made from Soy Beans and is completely harmless.
