Do you recycle paper on your printer or copier?
« on: March 07, 2011, 09:02:50 am »
If I get mail that has a blank back page, I will keep it for printing.  If it has personal information on it, I will use it to print off receipts or recipes.  If not, I will even use it to print off coupons.  I recycle envelopes for sorting my coupons.  I also use coupons for my grocery list - I put the coupons I want to use in that envelope.  I keep a separate envelope for Target coupons.
If I can only use half a sheet, it goes into my special stack I use for notes to myself, etc.  If it is too personal, it goes into my shredder, which I keep under my computer desk.  I will usually open my mail at that desk, while I am waiting for something to load.  I hate just sitting - have to be doing something.

Those are great ideas. I recycle anything that can be printed on that doesn't have personal information on the back side. I am able to take paper from work that has been printed on but contains nothing client related on for printing too. Really helps cut down on the paper!

I try to recycle all the paper that comes into the house.  I don't know if you have children but I find that the school sends so much home that I can use that paper also to do things with.  When my son was younger I used to take his art projects and us them for wraping paper so I could share his work and let him know that his art work was something I wanted to share with other people.  I try not to dispose of anything that can have another use.  Paper is expensive and if I need to just write a note I just grab a old piece.

I try to recycle paper, esepecially at work, as a lot of paper gets wasted.  Try to reuse the extra paper by making them into post-it notes.
