Could that kind of paper even be recycled ?
Well, I haven't made a study of what paper products can be recycled, but in my town anything that is paper or paper related can be put in to the "recycle" yellow bin picked up each week at our homes. This bin also takes plastic with the triangular recycle symbol and recycle glass that has a "deposit" value. Aluminum soft drinks cans with a recycle value go in that bin also.
We have a "thriving" business in fellows who walk around "picking" the trash bins for plastic and glass with a California deposit value of 5 cents or so. In the days from the early 1900's through 70's or so the term for these guys was "rag picker", but now they have been elevevated to "recyclers".
Unfortunately, at least one in my neighborhood makes a mess by sorting through the bins the day before pickup, so I put mine out either at late night or even early morning (5 a.m.) before the pickup. At one point he was taking stuff out of the yellow recycle bin (like cardboard, etc) and out of the gray (regular trash bin) and putting it all in the GREEN bin for yard waste. He had a real system going, but of course it ruined the whole idea of getting our local trash organized for the fleet of specialized trucks who come through.
