Paper is easy to recycle, but how you store it makes a real difference to what you get for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep it dry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wet or mouldy paper is hard to recycle and is usually not accepted. Store paper indoors, off the floor and away from the bathroom or kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sort it by type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newspaper, books and copies, and cardboard each have their own rate. Keeping them in separate bundles makes weighing faster and makes sure each type is paid at the right price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flatten your boxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flattened cardboard takes less space at home and is quicker to weigh and carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remove what is not paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where it is easy, pull off plastic covers, tape and metal binding. Clean paper is worth more to the recycler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sell it in one go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waiting until you have a good amount saves you time.
