Cardboard Boxes

Cardboard boxes, especially corrugated ones, can be
inexpensively recycled. You can recycle them into more
cardboard, toilet paper, paper towels, furniture, manufactured
wood, pressboard, cat litter, and other things.

Reusing and repurposing:
• Reuse paper that's only been used on one side. You can
do this with paper from your printer, using the second
side for rough drafts. You can use it for a number of
things like grocery lists, notes to yourself, or paper for
your children to draw on.

• Use wrapping paper and gift bags again - be careful how
you store it, and often wrapping paper can be reused. If
you can’t use all of it, you might be able to cut off the
unusable portion and use the rest. Cut down all greeting
cards to make gift tags.

• Liners - use old newspapers and magazines to line
boxes, drawers, and cat litter trays.

Another way to look at saving paper is not to use it at all.
We can substitute cloth items for paper items in several
ways. For instance, try using fabric shopping bags for your
groceries. They're reusable, and they keep tons of plastic
and paper out of landfills each year. How about the paper
towels that most of us use abundantly? Use cloth towels for
kitchen cleanups, and you keep that extra paper out of the
landfills and save yourself some money as well.
