Shred Junk Mail

I have a shredder. I shred all of my junk mail. I use the strips for packing materials when I mail boxes.(eBay) I also use them for paper mache projects with my children or kids in my class. I sort the colored paper out. I have bins of pink, yellow, blue, and white paper that I use for making my own homemade paper.

I tried using the strips for mulch around bushes and in my garden, but they blew in the wind and what stayed in place turned really hard so they are not good for that use. If I have too much for my own use, I give some to others to use or there is a place in a close town that accepts them for recycle.
