Don’t toss your Christmas wrapping paper in the trash this year. For the first time, wrapping paper may be recycled in Bowling Green’s curbside recycling program.
Wrapping paper (no foil), cards, and paper gift bags (take handles off) may be recycled in your blue curbside recycling container. Ribbons, rope handles, foil-type wrapping, and cards with glitter are all detrimental to the recycling process, so put these in the garbage.
The city is also asking people to consider using gift wrapping alternatives like blankets, baskets, reusable containers, etc.
Making room for all that new stuff? Check out the “What Goes Where” tool on Recycle Coach for locations accepting electronics, televisions, batteries, and more.
