“You better watch out, you better not cry…you better not put bubble wrap in your recycling bin.” OK, that’s obviously not how it goes but it is a good reminder to us all that bubble wrap does not belong in your recycling bin. Now your empty gift boxes, holiday cards, envelopes, paper gift bags, cardboard, etc…all A-OK to be recycled as long as they are free of glitter and foil; that is, if they can’t be reused next year. To help remind us of the “naughty” and “nice” things to toss in the bin this holiday season, TFC Recycling has released this Holiday Recycling Checklist. Be sure to check it twice before your holiday clean-up begin!
