Paper: Small Sheets, Big Impact

It might seem small, but paper recycling has a big impact. Recycling paper saves up to 60% of the energy needed to make it from new materials and conserves thousands of gallons of water.

At WRG, we accept office paper, newspapers, magazines, and mail. Once collected, paper is sorted, baled, and shipped to mills where it’s turned into products like new office paper, paper towels, tissue, or cardboard.

Tips for Recycling Paper Right:

  • Keep paper clean and dry.

  • No wax-coated paper (like some food containers).

  • No Laminated paper, or paper with foil.

By recycling paper, you’re helping save forests and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A small act that adds up in a big way.
