We save paper which has been printed on one side for our children to draw on. One office I worked at, used cover pages on the printer, so when ever someone printed something, you got a cover page with the person's name on it. These ended up in an empty printer paper box but the printer. I used to take home around 100+ sheets every couple of weeks.
Great tip! Wish I thought of posting it!! I've been doing this for years. Any one sided printed paper that comes home from school gets saved and I reuse it....for my own print outs or just for scratch paper. I also save any printing mistake paper too. I have this plastic three drawer unit that is 8 1/2 x 11 size and is great for holding printer paper in one, card stock in one and then those sheets that are blank on one side and I can use for whatever I need. It's great to recycle and saves money in the long run too!
I found a binder full of old conference papers that was my husbands. Almost all of the pages were blank on the back, so I emptied the binder and I used them for printing. The other morning I was waiting for the post office to open and saw a huge stack of papers in the trash. Well I just grabbed them up and now I have free paper for another month or more. I also use the back of anything I get in the mail that is blank. I have saved at least 30 dollars already since starting.
