What happens if you throw food in the paper-recycling section?
May 2nd, 2010
I do recycle but sometimes when I throw my trashes away, it sometimes slips in some orange peel and Coffee and stuff like that and usually I don’t care. Can food thrown in the paper recycling section have some type of negative impact? Will it destroy the recycling process?

If you want to do your part to recycle, please separate your thrash. Organic waste, recycled items and regular trash would make it easier for the recyclers and be less smelly and could be a place for bacteria to grow if too much food is mixed with the dry stuff.
Start a worm house or compost bin if you have the space. It’s a win win situation for our environment.
