Few things inspire more joy than a collection of beautifully wrapped presents under a Christmas tree! The problem with gift wrap, though, is that it's often not recyclable. Even though the base of most gift wraps is indeed paper, many have overlays like metallic foil or glitter, have tape stuck to them, are saturated with problematic inks or dye, or are so thin that the fibers aren't useful for recycling.
Whether wrapping paper is recyclable in your area will be 100 percent dependent on your local recycling resources, and you can find that out by visiting your county website or using my favorite search tool on Earth911. So, once you know if it's recyclable in your area, you have a few choices.
