What do i have to do to recycle paper?

Question

i want to recycle paper, but i dont know what i have to do. should i just put it outside in a different container on trash pickup day? i dont know if this makes a difference, but i live in humble, tx

Answer 1

It depends on the area where you live and the trash and recycling service you have.  My service has both trash and recycling and I had to call and get a blue bin to put out on the curb.  I have to separate glass/plastic/aluminum cans from newspapers and my service will pick up newspapers bound together or in paper bags, so now I get paper bags from the grocery store when I go.  If you live in an apartment, some complexes have on-site recycling that you can take it to.  Or, if you don't have a recycling service with your trash, most municipalities have recycling areas where you can take it and put in containers.  My recommendations:  contact your trash service first.  If they have recycling service, they will give you a bin and/or let you know what you need to do in order to recycle.  If they don't have a recycling service or it is an additional expense, contact your city or municipality to see if they have a public recycling center.  You usually can recycle paper, plastic, aluminum, and glass at these centers.  Good luck!

Answer 6

you can make paper bricks for the fire, make homemade paper, pinnattas etc from papermache,  from what ive come to understand paper recycling actually effects the planet more with chemicals etc so burning is probably better (and plant a tree now and again)!jackie

Answer 7

Tie it in a bundle with twine and set it out with your cans on pick up day.  

You could also recycle it at home.  My kids love to recycle paper and then use it for crafts or cards.  

just put paper, water and colorox in a blender,( the more colorox the whiter the paper,) until pulp consistancy

pour the pulp onto a screen, like a window screen , flatten it and let it dry.

Answer 8

You, my friend, have the handicap of living in a rural area of a state that is mostly unconcerned with the environment. Funny with all those Don't mess with Texas adds! The only thing possible for your area is to contact a collection center in Houston, save up waste, and take it to them. There may be a closer town, but I am not very familiar with Harris County. I originally lived in Texas and I sympathize with you due to my firsthand knowledge of the poor environmental record of this republican majority state. Unfortunately for the world, Governor Rick Perry made all EPA regulations for industry voluntary in the Lone Star State a few years past.

They should have bins that you fill up and put outside with your garbage cans on garbage day.
