In most case it can be recycled along with your other paper and collected curbside. Alternatively it can be deposited in a paper bank.

Some wrapping paper however cannot be recycled. This is because:

• It is very thin paper and doesn’t contain enough good quality fibres to be recycled.
• It may contain sticky tape, which cannot be recycled.
• It could be dyed and contain additives e.g. glitter or plastics which cannot be recycled.

• Use wrapping paper that has been made from recycled paper and that can be either recycled again or composted
• Use string and wool for wrapping presents instead of sticky tape.
