When you’re ready to empty the shredder, most recycling programs will ask that you put shredded paper in a larger container, such as a paper or plastic bag.If you are shredding paper at home, make sure to read the manual and operate with safety.But don’t shred for no reason, because this significantly reduces the paper’s recycling market. If you have more recyclables than your curbside collection bin can hold or bulky items that cannot fit, the Waste Diversion Center accepts single-stream recyclables free of charge.One of the best ways to avoid identity theft is to shred documents with personal information, such as bills and receipts.Please flatten and fold all large and bulky cardboard boxes so they fit inside your container.No need to remove: paper clips, stamps, address labels, staples, tape, wire, metal fasteners, rubber bands, spiral bindings, or plastic tabs.You can also find handy do's and don'ts in this quick reference guide from Recycle Colorado: Print it out and keep a copy handy or reference the Waste Wizard above!
