Use Envelopes for Recycling Paper

Recycling is really easy since everything is commingled together into one container at the convenient site. However, I don't put loose paper in the recycling bin.

For newspapers and ads, I put them into a large paper bag and tape it together with paper tape.

My husband and I are on Medicare and BCBS. We get a lot of paper in the mail, plus all the junk mail. The insurance papers come in large envelopes. I open the envelope on the end by cutting the edge off. The envelope is great for stuffing loose paper. When the envelope gets full, I tape the end shut and put it into my recycling bin.

I save large envelopes and paper bags to use for recycling paper.
