Question

Can you put envelopes with plastic address windows in the recycling?

Answer 1

Yeah you should because all our paper/letters and envelopes and stuff gets handed over to chinese workers who will probably rip them out by hand anyways and they are grateful for the money they get processing our waste which is just sold on to them to sort out and send back to us as made in china goods

Answer 2

In Brevard county Florida you can.  They just updated their recycle guidelines... http://www.brevardcounty.us/swr/recydir....

Check your local waste managment.  Every area is different, but most still don't recycle as much as we could!

Answer 3

if you just reach your hand in and pull out the plastic window thing and throw it away, than you can.

Answer 4

Probably not. If not a huge amount of time then just tear out tor cut out the flimsy plastic.

Answer 5

You can do it in my area.  Someone at city hall should be able to tell you or direct you to the department that has all the answers to your recycling questions.

Answer 6

No!  But I always tear the window out and then put it in and it always gets taken :o)

Answer 7

According to our council you can.

Answer 8

My county recycling center will not accept them. Just to be sure though, you should check with your local recycling center.
