Shredded paper in bags only so it doesn't blow everywhere on collection day! |

We can put shredding in the recycling bin but small amounts wrapped in newspaper apparently large amount clog the machinery |

Our council takes shredded paper but not in the recycling bin; we have to put it in a bag with the general waste. We wait till we have about a dustbin bag full and take it to the local tip where they put it in with the cardboard. |

some councils wont recycle pizza boxes, on the grounds that they can be greasy/contaminated...so they need to go in the rubbish bin... |

I too have some paper statements for the very reason that Nyx states and of course technology breaks down or is only as good as the person who programmes it |

I get bank statements quarterly, having a paper copy is useful for the occasions when an 'original' of paperwork is needed. |

There is of course the option of not having paper statements at all often with the bonus of a small bonus of around £ 3 / month. |

They will take shredded paper here, bagged in a paper bag, though I also put some in our compost bin from time to time. |

My council will take shredded paper in our recycling bag. They suggest about a carrier bags worth at any one time. |

Ours will only take shredded paper if it is bagged up and then it is a maximum of three at a time |

Would like to know what your council does with any paper/cardboard boxes. |
