1.
How do I dispose of shredded paper?
Unfortunately, shredded paper typically will need to go into your household trash to be picked up by your trash hauler. The fibers have been cut too short for the paper to be a viable recyclable material. If deposited into one of the bins at the Recycling Center, the shredded paper will be taken to the processor where it will fall through their conveyor belts and become waste and could potentially jam the recycling equipment.
2.
How should I dispose of plastic bags?
Many retail stores offer bins for depositing plastic grocery bags, which are sent to be recycled. Any plastic bags left at the Broomfield Recycling Center premises are put in the trash to be landfilled. Leaving plastic bags at the site or tying bags to the railings of the platforms is considered illegal dumping.
