Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Clean up the paper in your office. Separate papers that are confidential from those that aren’t. Shred any confidential papers before disposing of them.
Step2
Recycle the papers that are not confidential or toss them in the trash can.
Step3
Organize your home and gather all the paper that you need to throw away. Shred personal information, and then recycle white unglossy paper. Throw away magazines unless your service accepts them in a recycling bin.
Step4
Put paper into a compost bin. This is a good way to use the paper to benefit your garden and the environment.
Step5
Use the paper when you pack a box for mailing. Stuffing paper around the items that you are mailing protects them from breakage during transport.
Step6
Be original. Rather than dispose of the paper, keep it for your children. They can use it to paint or color and you may find you have a budding artist. You can donate usable paper to schools where children can use it for artwork.
Step7
Reuse the paper by putting it back into your printer and using the clean side for printing new information.
