This time of the year with gifts, holiday cards and catalogs, it can be difficult to figure out which items can be recycled and which ones are non-recyclable.

Holiday items you can recycle:
* Regular gift-wrapping paper * paper shopping bags * gift boxes * holiday cards and envelopes
* packing paper & cardboard packing pieces * holiday catalogs and advertisements

Holiday items you can’t recycle:
*Liners and tissue paper from shopping bags and shoe & gift boxes * ribbon * foil backed wrapping paper * plastic bags and wrappers * Styrofoam packing peanuts *rigid Styrofoam

Most mailing services will accept clean, bagged Styrofoam peanuts for reuse.
