  1. Depends on how you want to separate it

    Glossy could go into a different one

    but

    if you have one that is only like newspaper or paper then put in there

    Glad to have helped my eco-friendly friend lol!

  2. The gloss is generally clay.  For composting or recycling, I think it gets in the way, but if the recycle place just says "newspaper" it is entirely up to you on separating.  

    Where I recycle, they have a bin for "mixed paper" that is more appropriate for the glossy stuff.  (Magazines, etc.)

  3. probably. the gloss is probably from some kind of chemical. use your news paper as fertilizer for your garden!

  4. depends on what is accepted in your area for us we place all papers together and that's how they collect it contact your recyclers and ask them no sense doing extra work if they collect it together
