Most Unwanted: December Edition 🚫![]()
Item: Gift Wrap 🎁![]()
![]()
Happy holidays, everyone! As we dive into the season of giving, it's time for this month's Most Unwanted item—gift wrap (yes, we're looking at you, wrapping paper, tape, ribbons, and gift bags)! ![]()
![]()
While it’s tempting to toss all that festive wrap into your blue recycling bin, it can't be recycled and here’s why:![]()
1️⃣ Wrapping Paper: Most gift wrap is coated with dyes, glitters, and laminates that make it non-recyclable. Even if it’s plain, if it’s heavily soiled with tape or food stains, it’s no good for the recycling stream.![]()
2️⃣ Tape: While small amounts of clear tape might seem harmless, it's made from a plastic film that doesn’t break down in the recycling process. It can contaminate paper and plastic recycling batches.![]()
3️⃣ Ribbons and Bows: These are usually made from synthetic materials like nylon or plastic, which can’t be recycled in your blue bin. They can also tangle up the machinery at our facility. ![]()
4️⃣ Gift Bags: Unless they are made from 100% paper and are free of glitter, plastic, or other non-paper materials, gift bags are not recyclable either.![]()
![]()
So, what's the solution? Here’s what you can do instead:![]()
✅ Reuse what you can—gift bags and ribbons often make multiple rounds if you take care of them!![]()
✅ Upcycle wrapping paper into crafts or reuse plain gift wrap.![]()
✅ Recycle properly by placing clean, non-coated paper in your blue bin, and disposing of plastic materials separately.![]()

Let’s keep it green this holiday season! Keep the festivities merry, but let’s make sure we’re wrapping our gifts in ways that don’t end up in the landfill. 🎄♻️![]()
