Re: Recycling Junk Mail
Unfortunately the bulk of junk mail is only suitable for 2 uses:
1) low grade fuel (high clay content, plus halogenated materials)
2) low grade pulp (same reasons)
3) It makes great landfill... That is *if* we had a need for more landfill [sigh]
I always try to give the sender a call or an e-mail to opt out... Sometimes it works (win-win) sometimes they have no idea what to do (draw-lose) sometimes they say "we don't do that" (lose-lose) because I'll turn the post-paid envelopes around and send them back to those fools.
BTW we have municipal recylcing that takes just about everything.
