And just a few paper items that are not recyclable:

Food-soiled paper, such as greasy pizza boxes and soggy ice cream cartons. We can’t make new products out of wet and dirty paper!
Napkins and paper towels. The paper fibers are too small to be used again in new products.
Hard back books – donate them instead!

A couple more ways you can recycle...

Place recycling bins throughout your house. Then you can collect more paper from places like your home office, the kids’ playroom, and your bedroom or bathroom.
Keep your recyclables loose in the bin. Don’t bag them!
