Depends on my mood. Most of it just gets tossed into the can. If Its something that frustrates me, I'll crumple it up. Items that have personal info, or that I REALLY can't stand, goes through the shredder.
It's kind of.. Ironic, that trees give life and trees are paper and too much paper can kill life and trees lol.
america has like 3 places left that recycle paper. i know i don't have time to drive a truckload of old paper to chicago or wherever you have to go to find an actual recycling center these days.
yes. i know it's actually more than three, but they definitely aren't available everywhere. haven't lived near one myself in about 10 years.
I recycle it And if it has any private information on it I put it in a stack to be shredded and it sits there for a year making me feel guilty and then I end up half heartedly tearing it into a couple of pieces rather than shredding it and then I recycle it
If I'm doing a big paper sort I throw them out unfolded or crippled. If it's a piece "here and there" I crumple it.
