Old newspapers can be pulped at home and, using purpose-built simple presses, converted into fuel for the fire. Old newspapers are also useful in the garden for controlling weeds, for the compost heap and may also be suitable as animal bedding. Waste but good quality paper can be used as scribbling pads or wrapping paper. If there is a downturn in the market for newspapers, alternative uses on the lines of the above may be the only viable alternative means of recycling. Therefore it is necessary to check frequently with your local authority or ENFO about current places which will accept paper.
Magazines are a low grade material.
They should be kept separate from newspapers. Computer printout is a high grade material. Corrugated cardboard is also suitable for recycling but it is a low grade material and again the market fluctuates greatly. Office waste can be a medium quality if free from contamination such as plastics, metals, etc. Offices could, without too much difficulty, make significant contributions to recycling paper with the cooperation of staff.
