My personnel opinion is that we will get a lot of fly-tipping because of the charges the council are putting on.. |

We have been able to recycle paper and card for many years. It is placed in a black toy box type container and collected fortnightly with our wheelie bin of glass, tin,aluminium (including foil) and plastics.Any large boxes are flattened and left beside the bins. |

Looking at Sue’s updated OP, could they be trying to stop trade-waste from being sneaked in? If not, it’s only going to encourage fly-tipping/unlicensed disposal. |

We have a weekly collection for food waste, and fortnightly ones for general trash, plastic, garden waste and tins/glass. (also paper but ours go to the Scouts) |

Sharron, we pass a smallholding that has bins on the front asking for shredded paper, so we put ours in there. They also ask for vegetable peelings too. If it's still the same, our council used to take our shredded paper with the recycling. |

Ours takes it, with no restrictions. I normally bag it up anyway. |

Can't shredded paper be used for animal bedding? |

Most of our paper and cardboard goes into a skip at our local Scouts which is emptied once a week by a recycling company who pay them for it. |

I think I read once that the ink can be a problem in your compost, might be worth checking out? |

I love writing letters to family and friends with fountain pen. I never type them out it is too impersonal but I do all the business ones on the computer |
