I hope I've put this on the correct board, if I haven't, can someone please move me !
I keep and about once a fornight shred everything with my name/address on but don't know what to do with the shreddings (I haven't got a rabbit or know anyone with one that I could give them to).
Some of the shredded paper will include envelopes and these should not be included in my paper recycling bag because of the glue. So what should I do with it (clean answers only please).
What do you do with yours?

Hi, I have read just the other day that we must not use shredded paper for small animals as they may eat this and because of the ink etc etc. Anyway I think that they only way we can get rid is to take it to the local tip. Good luck, I've got a big also, of shredded paper that is.

I am lucky enough to have a big compost bin and I shred all paper except glossy stuff to put in there. It rots down very well and helps my veg grow!Maureen0
