Can shredded paper go in your recycling bin? ♻️

The answer is: it depends.

While paper is recyclable, shredded paper can be tricky because the small pieces are harder to sort during the recycling process. Loose shredded paper can also create problems at recycling facilities.

If you’re recycling shredded paper:

✅ Place it in a paper bag or cardboard box before recycling
✅ Check your local recycling guidelines
✅ Avoid mixing it with regular trash whenever possible

When handled correctly, shredded paper can still have a second life.

Cogent Waste Solutions helps NYC businesses navigate recycling requirements and build smarter waste programs that work.
