Waste Information

Shredded paper is suitable for paper recovery if the paper is cut into long strips no narrower than 2 mm or if the particle size is at least 4 mm x 60 mm. Pack recyclable shredded paper into, for example, a white paper bag so that the shredding does not spill out when the container is emptied. Shredded paper that has a smaller particle size than this is mixed waste.
