Tips for Paper Recycling

Paper recycling is everyone’s responsibility

  • Get a separate reusable container for your paper waste.
  • Separate your paper waste from your other waste by placing it in the container. 
  • Keep your waste paper clean and dry – quality is important for a good end product.  Buyers will not accept wet paper.
  • Find out from your local recycler what paper grades should be kept separate from the rest.  Please refer to www.prasa.co.za for SA Standard Grade Definitions.
