Recycling Xmas cards to power your home
December 15, 2005 at 9:13 am
Every year millions of Christmas cards are happily received but then quickly discarded without a thought.
Don’t throw your cards away with the rest of the rubbish, do your bit for the environment and recycle them.
By recycling just one Christmas card, enough energy would be saved for five people to watch TV for 15 minutes!
Aside from recycling cards with other paper products, is there a separate place or site to recycle cards? As most individuals receive a number of cards yearly, recycling just seems to be the best answer once the initial “gift” is realized.
I would like to know where I can donate my used Xmas cards. I used to drop them off at the Post Office in plastic envs but they won’t take them this year.
My family doesn’t recycle much. Is it expensive to buy a recycling bin?
