Construction paper can be recycled as long as it is clean and free of any contaminants such as glue or tape. Here are some methods to responsibly dispose of construction paper:

  • Recycling: If the construction paper is clean and free of any contaminants, it can be placed in the recycling bin. Make sure to check with your local recycling facility to ensure they accept construction paper.
  • Reuse: If the construction paper is still in good condition, consider reusing it for other arts and crafts projects. You can cut it into smaller pieces or use it as a background for collages.
  • Donate: If you have unused construction paper that is still in good condition, consider donating it to schools, daycares, or community centers. They can use it for various arts and crafts activities.
