Can you recycle old homework?

Question

I have piles of old homework laying around and I want to recycle them. Is that okay?

Answer 1

It depends. If you are still in the class (like the same semester) keep it for records (if your teacher loses a grade, you can prove what you got). After that, sure, but you have to check if you have mixed paper recycling versus just newspaper.

Answer 2

LOL. . . back when I was in school, that was definitely the last thing on my mind :)  You should recycle it when you do not need it anymore. . . maybe you could encourage your school to start a recycling program, or just take charge and do it yourself :)

Good Luck!!!  Good people like you bring awareness to the rest of us on what needs to be done to save our planet and ourselves:)

Answer 3

if its paper yes. if you know someone who is going to possibly take the same class next year and you are willing to save it and let them reuse it to study from you may recycle that way.

and if you recycle you'd help out the enviorment!

Answer 4

Well, it can be recycled, but it can also be passed on to  kids in the same grade. They call that reusing.

Of course it only works well if you got really good grades or made good notes as to why the homework answers were wrong.

Answer 5

Yep! Why not take this idea to your teachers and set up a recycle program at school. Have a recycle bin (locked of course so other students could not get the homework) placed in the school and use the money gained from the recycle money to throw a school party, fund an trip to the local amusement park, or to fund a scholarship. But don't stop there, make it a national idea. Believe me when I say there is very little that keeps young minds from achieving great things.
