Recycle Curbside:  Mix junk mail with assorted paper, boxboard and newspaper and place loose in a recycling bin separate from other curbside recyclables. 

Note:  Plain white office paper can be mixed in but has a higher value and is accepted separately at The Recycling Shed.  (See Recycling Shed for more details.) 

ARE YOU TIRED OF ALL THOSE MAGAZINES & CATALOGS?
