How to recycle shredded paper

Shredded paper

  • Put into your blue cart or take to a community recycling depot

Put bagged shredded paper and documents:

  • Into your blue cart for recycling
  • Take to a community recycling depot

Shredded paper must be placed in a clear/transparent plastic bag with the handles securely tied.

Why does shredded paper need to be bagged?

Shredded paper must be bagged in order to keep all the shredded paper pieces contained together. The paper bits are too small to be sorted loose and will end up contaminating the other recyclables.
