Question

Can you really now recycle glossy paper?

Answer 1

yes. you can recycle any paper as long it has written componant in it.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

been doing it for years...some towns are still a little choosey about what they will recycle..which really makes no sense because the town I work in gets paid for most of the paper they recycle by the paper companies...kinda like the redemption on a soda can..

Answer 4

You've always been able to recycle glossy paper ... but whether you are 'allowed to' where you live or not, could depend on your city's 'recylcing rules' ... so call them and ASK!

Answer 5

where i live, the local township does not accept glossy papers.  you should check with your township on their recycling rules

Answer 6

Yes, most all recycling programs accept glossy paper now, if you're speaking in terms of magazines and such.  It was mentioned in a recent magazine article, that many people are still throwing their magazines in the garbage instead of recycling them because they're unaware that they're able to recycle them the same way as any other paper.

If you're in doubt, call your local recycling center, but chances are good that you can.
