Taxes can be complicated, but one thing is for sure: shredded paper does not belong in the recycling bin. The tiny pieces stick to other recyclables and can’t be separated.
The good news: many communities host shredded paper collection events. More info: bit.ly/2Nk9epX
You can also try composting shredded paper at home! Add the paper to a backyard compost bin with water to dampen it. Sprinkle with soil, add kitchen scraps, and in 3 months you'll have new soil ready to go!

One week until this special Earth Day composting webinar!
Home composting is easier than people might think. Most of the work is done by nature’s composting work force (decomposers). All we have to do is feed them our food scraps and yard waste, give them air, water, and a place to live, and they’ll do the hard work of converting our “garbage” into “gold” for our gardens–black gold. Compost can restore life to soil and help plants thrive.
You can singlehandedly reduce your trash to practically zero if you compost, reduce, reuse, and recycle! Register here: bit.ly/3foYHcr
