Shredded Paper
DO NOT PUT SHREDDED PAPER IN YOUR RECYCLING BIN.
Recycling sorting facilities are not able to capture this small material and recycle it, it will contaminate other recyclables or become trash if you put it in the recycling bin.
For a nominal fee, you can recycle shredded paper at Bodow Recycling located at 1925 Park Street, Syracuse (off Hiawatha Boulevard, near Destiny USA; enter building off Exchange Place through the bottle return entrance.) Call ahead for hours and other details.
Alternatively, you may put shredded paper in your trash and it will be converted into electricity at the Waste-to-Energy Facility in Jamesville, where our community’s trash generates enough electricity to power 30,000+ homes each year.
