Don't forget to recycle this Christmas!

Almost as much a tradition as unwrapping presents is the big garbage bag to collect all of the wrapping paper. This year, don't forget that wrapping paper is recyclable! The best solution is to save large scraps for re-use (or use reusable gift wrappings to begin with), but when the little ones tear the paper to shreds, be sure to scoop it up and save it for recycling. Unless the wrapping paper has plastic-based outer coating, toss it in with the rest of your mixed paper and you're good to go.

Be sure to reuse or recycle the boxes, too!
