Hi there, I have a large box of shredded paper that I would like to recycle as opposed to throw away. Will you take this if I bag it up? If so, what is the charge to drop it off to you?

Take shredded paper to the Kansas Humane Society on North Hillside. They use it for bedding. Best if the paper is bagged and the top is sealed or tied off.

Some places aren't able to process shredded paper. I think it made bunch up and clog certain machines..? I can't remember if this place does it not. My mom and I have used shredded paper as mulch for gardens and flower beds and as compost material (maybe not the most kosher material, but it functions. Less ink/color works better). Just cover with a layer of soil, straw, or 'real' mulch to dress up the looks of it.
