Can glossy fax paper be recycled?

No, glossy fax paper (or thermal fax paper) has a chemical coating on it (which gives it that funny smell) which cannot be recycled. A good alternative is a plain paper fax machine, which utilizes the same plain paper as your copier or laser printer.

AND

Paper that can't be recycled

Paper that can't be recycled as normal "mixed paper" includes: food contaminated paper, waxed paper, waxed cardboard milk & juice containers, oil soaked paper, carbon paper, sanitary products or tissues, thermal fax paper, stickers and plastic laminated paper such as fast food wrappers, juice boxes, and pet food bags.
