Bought this on impluse from Tesco on Saturday. £7.
I am now shredding anything in sight, even stuff that can go safely in the bin. It's soooooooooooooo
satisfying.
Anyone else suffer from this?
-
Yes. We have three large bin bags of shreddings in the spare room. This is after getting rid of one a week for the last month. redface:
You can't recycle shreddings. evil:

Nick's been allowed near a shredder?
I'm expecting to read a mournful thread in the not too dim and distant future about how Mrs Nick is in a bad mood because 'someone' managed to shred an important document. whistle:
Not specifically recycling Wenchy but does Mr Wench have a class pet that needs bedding?

You can compost it as well, providing the paper is not the glossy mag type.

Anything you want to confess to us? eeek:
-
Apparently the shredded bits of paper interfere with the recycling mechanism or something. Those of you that put your shreddings in your recycling bin are causing the whole truck to become unrecyclable.

SHred it then!

I got a right mouthful of ours this morning. I think he is stung by the massive insurance claim for Mrs Nick's car last week. Perhaps they are docking his wages?

The ink/powder on the glossy type paper does not get removed as easily as that on newspapers etc and so does not make for viable recycling. More and more inks/chemicals used in printing are becoming water based to try and cut down on pollution/waste and help their recycling. Boring, eh?

Why can’t I recycle shredded paper?
The problem with recycling shredded paper is that the Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) uses automatic sorting equipment to sort through the vast amount of recycling. The machine recognises many different types of material but has difficulty distinguishing small or shredded paper. Shredded paper can also cause problems in jamming the machinery.
Use your shredded paper in your compost or put into a paper bank and it will then go straight to the papermill rather than the MRF

I believe that to be utter tosh, but I am prepared to be proved wrong. Over to you.

It's back to the paper type again - it can't distinguish between the newsprint (pulp) paper and the glossy (unusable) paper.

Why would I want a stick insect.
I want a hamster/bunny/cat/dog I'm not fussed, any of those would do.

Knit one?

Stick a purring cassette tape inside it. And a heating element. Plug and play!

Am not sure it is a good idea to let Wenchy wander around with something that is making that kind of noise, twill be as embarassing as the airport incident.
"it's alright officer, it's my pussy purring and it's getting a bit hot as well!" redface:

She has confessed to that already. Malaga Airport. She set the alarms off. Do keep up!

I used to end up traveling through Malaga airport a minimum of five return trips a year for five or six years. There are a few stories. redface:

Correct ~ local councils and their recycling people despair of shredded paper in the recycling bins. It does, provided you have removed the staples and paper clips etc have a use. Hamster/Guinea Pig owners love it as it is good bedding material for their pets.
-
As I said. Worth dosh then!
-
We use ours to light the fires ...... since I seldom buy a newspaper a couple of handsfull of shredded paper does the trick nicely.
-
Candles and cushions also help

I don't have an open fire and I am not allowed a pet.

Nope. Mr Wench won't allow it. He is afraid if I show interest then he will lumbered with it for weekends etc.
-
I think he fears you! Oddly rubschin:
-
We had a - series of - rows with our council because they wouldn't take shredded paper.
We 'wondered' where they put their shredded paper. We asked them to provide secure collection, passage and storage for out secrets too... They gave in and agreed they will take it now.
'Security' worked for us for a change. ;)

You can actually mix shredded paper with compost. Works quite well I'm told.
We used a lot to stuff a scarecrow. See www.dyserth.biz and click on the scarecrow logo.
