Recycling Gift Wrap and Holiday Cards
Posted by easy eco blog
The holidays are over, time to clean up the mess. Gift wrapping paper, holiday cards and boxes that are 100 percent paper can be recycled. Foil, plastic coating and glitter cannot be put into recycle bins. Plastic bottles, jars, tubs and buckets are the only plastics that you can recycle at home. Check with your local recycling firm for details.
Packing peanuts and bubble wrap can be recycled at your local UPS store or shipping store.
Holiday lights no longer work or are no longer needed, can be recycled at some outlets. This website takes them too.
Most garbage companies have Christmas tree recycling programs. Be sure to get the trees outside and ready for recycling per their date requirements.

If you prefer pretty papers for presents, purchase green gift wrap that is recycled AND recyclable. We at Ecosaurus are creators of 100% recycled, 50% post-consumer waste wrapping paper that is printed with vegetable-based inks and is recyclable (and fit for your regular recycle bin, as the paper is bleach-free and petroleum-free).
