Paper

Paper is easily recyclable, many people have easy access to recycling paper right in front of their very own home. While recycling has increased due to easy access, paper recycling is still not enough. Sometimes the recycling bins aren’t big enough to fit large quantities of paper, that's where centers come in for pick up and drop off help! However, some sites charge a fee for their services.
