After the holidays your living room may be strewn with wads of ripped wrapping paper and gift boxes. But don’t forget: a lot of present-wrapping materials may be recyclable!
Here’s a quick guide on how to sort through the leftover holiday debris:
Note: Heavily-soiled or greasy cardboard should be tossed in the trash. And make sure to tie any boxes that don't fit into your bin with sturdy wine in bundles shorter than 18 inches, or place them in a clear 13-to-55-gallon bag.
This is not a comprehensive list, so check the Department of Sanitation or 311 website for more information on what else you can and can’t recycle.
