News and Pams ─ what is it and what can you earn

News and Pams are simply a collection of newspapers, pamphlets and leaflets containing a mixture of newspapers and magazines, containing a minimum of 80% of newspapers, with or without glue. Maximum of 4% out-throws permitted (which includes un-bleached fibres such as OCC)

What can I recycle

Pizza boxes and other food containers are often contaminated with grease. Cut off any clean portions of cardboard for recycling, and throw the rest in the trash. Grease from pizza boxes causes oil to form at the top of the slurry, and paper fibres cannot separate from oils during the pulping process.

Other cardboard items, such as juice containers, milk cartons, and some produce boxes, are coated with wax or similar substances.

Cardboard should be dry. If wet, it will not be accepted.

Remove tape, labels, and other items on the cardboard.

Take out any bubble wrap and other packing materials.
