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 the blue curbside recycling container. Ribbons, rope handles, foil-type wrapping, and cards with glitter are all detrimental to the recycling process, these should be put in the garbage.
Residents may want 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.
