Answer 3

just put them in a paper recycleing bin or box and in the uk there is a 2 week collection

Answer 4

If you're talking about Newspapers, then I imagine that any nearby Animal Rescue centres/shelters would be happy to take them off your hands as bedding.

You may not even have to shred them!

Other than that, you CAN compost them!
