May I recycle sticker backings?

address labels

Happy Spring!

To help you with spring cleaning, here's a dip into our mailbag.  Someone recently asked us:

May I recycle sticker backings?

We checked with our paper recycler, who said... yes!   In fact, if you have stickers or labels which you are not able to use or reuse, we can accept those as well.

And, of course, when a sticker or label is stuck to paper, cardboard or envelopes which you're recycling, you may leave it stuck right where it is -- you do not need to remove it.  (However, you might like to remove labels with your name or address to help prevent identity theft.)
