A collection of different types of paper.

The main types of paper used everyday that can be recycled are:

  • Newspapers, magazines, telephone directories and unwanted mail
  • Office paper
  • Cardboard and other packaging paper
  • Mixed or coloured paper

Envelopes and Yellow Pages can sometimes be difficult to recycle and the availability of recycling collection facilities varies across the country.

Find out what paper your local authority can recycle by using the postcode locator.
