Before you purchase wrapping paper, please remember what you buy has to be thrown away. To be recyclable, gift wrap cannot be made of foil or be plastic-coated. It must be free of non-paper products, including tape, ribbons, bows, styrofoam and plastics.
Cardboard boxes are recyclable too.
For large amounts of cardboard, place flattened boxes into intact boxes that will stand upright. Your holiday tree can be recycled too. If you are a yard waste subscriber include your tree along with your yard waste. Trees must be clean, non-flocked and free of tinsel and other decorations. They should be cut into lengths of 6 feet or less and tied with natural string or twine and tied into widths of 4 feet or less.
