I decided a bit ago to recycle the paper that comes from our printer, we always for some reason get an extra one or two when we print something. I used to tear them up for scratch paper, but I started turning them over and put them back into the printer to use again. My husband thought that was a good idea.

do you get many paper jams?

It's possible that your printer is set up to deliver more than 1 copy of each printing job. It's simple to fix, but you might need to look up the instructions for your particular printer.

I am always looking for pads to write notes but find the 3-by-5-inch pads from the office-supply store to be too pricey. I am finding that I generate considerable pieces of 8-by-10 papers from my printer. One side is blank, so I cut them into four pieces and staple them together. Now I have pads strategically placed around the house, always within reach, at no cost. It is a good thing to use something that normally I would have trashed!

I REUSE MY USED PRINTER PAPER BY USING THE CLEAN BACKSIDE OF THE PAPER, ESPECIALLY FOR COPYING RECIPIES, WHICH I COPY A LOT. (03/28/2006)

RE: Reusing Printer Paper

Hi Bobbie, Besides using the used Printer paper, I keep the junk mail sheets that are not printed on both sides. I use them for grocery lists, to to lists & my schedules for each day of the week. Just listing Mon. thru Fri. when I have Drs. appt. or classes or perm day &time. Every little bit helps. My Mum did this too when we were kids. Juanita from Chicago, Il. (03/28/2006)

RE: Reusing Printer Paper

The elementary school sends home many papers, most of which must be kept for about a week, then get recycled. We use those papers as scrap paper, for grocery lists, notes to each other... (03/29/2006)

RE: Reusing Printer Paper

I use the junk mailers that have a blank side for note paper, along with papers from the printer as well. Recently for my birthday, a pal gave me a decorative cube of note papers for my kitchen. I didn't have the heart to tell her that my kitchen cube was already stashed with "homemade" papers & that I have a never ending stash from junk mail, etc. Just to think that some people actually buy paper notepads, etc.!
