Paper


Other Miscellaneous Paper - Other means items made mostly of paper that do not fit into any of the other paper types, but that are generally recyclable or not generally composted. Paper may be combined with minor amounts of other materials such as wax or glues. This type includes items made of chipboard, ground wood paper, and deep-toned or fluorescent dyed paper. Examples include cereal and cracker boxes, paperboard boxes for software, unused paper plates and cups, goldenrod colored paper, school construction paper, butcher paper, ice cream cartons and other frozen food boxes, self-adhesive notes, and hard cover and paperback books.
