What to do with your paper
Did you know?
In the UK we recycle about 25% of the paper we use, compared with around 60% for the best country in Europe. If the UK recycled 60% of the amount of paper used in 1997, we would avoid about 8 million trees being cut down a year. [source: Global Action Plan]
If your local council does not collect paper from your doorstep, you should take it to a recycling bank.
