Plain (non-thermal) paper rolls, notepaper, printer paper and junk mail are all standard kerbside recycling. Remove plastic wrap from junk mail and any free plastic gifts. Staples and paperclips are fine in small quantities — mills remove them magnetically.

Tips

  • Staples don't need removing
  • Take plastic mailing film to soft-plastic points
