A pool of SHREDDED PAPER on a NYC street is a reminder that this recyclable can be difficult to manage.
In Darien, shredded paper is permitted in single stream recycling, but it is recommended that it be CONTAINED IN AN OPEN BAG OR BOX.
Some of it may fall out, but the bulk of it will be contained until it gets to the sorting facility.
— This announcement comes from the Darien Recycling Center pages on Facebook. Like that page on Facebook and you can get your tips directly, as soon as they come out, and keep informed on other recycling information related to the transfer station and various town pickups for leaves, Christmas trees, etc.
Editor’s note: We recently had a tip about recycling shredded paper, but this tip emphasizes a different point: Keep the bag open.
