Whilst I'm here, is it OK to put envelopes in with my paper recycling? I always thought that I had to rip off the gummy bits -is it that true?

Our council do not want envelopes in our paper recycling because of the glue - I put them in my garden compost along with receipt and address ripped off the mail

Our paper waste still keeps on growing...I'll be trying on paper mache boxes which may be used for gift purposes! Wish me luck!:p

Papiere mache can also be pressed into the floorboard gaps.

Our council said they didn't want shredded paper in the recycling been as the fibres will be too short to be of use to recycled paper manufacturers. I stick any of my shreddings in the compost bin.

Thats appalling it all gets turned to pulp anyway
