Can I recycle it?
Shredded paper can be recycled as part of your recycling collection.
Place the shredded paper into a tied carrier bag and place in with your paper recycling.
If you are shredding till receipts on thermal paper, you may prefer to add them shredded to your orange (cardboard) bag instead to minimise any small amounts of contamination.
Which container?
Household paper sack (blue sack)
