No, paper is recycled in your green bin.
Someone else might have seen banks for paper etc but I've only seen ones for glass.
The council recycling centre might take it. Ring them.

Recycling is the future as long as some middle man get compensated for it.
Its not profitable if people were to you know...use less packaging and stuff!!

no paper/cardboard bins anywhere (really stupid...)

You *may* be able to bring it to Barna Waste - they do paper recycling (we get those clear bags from them, but you may be able to bring it to their recycling facility), it's probably your only option.

Ring them first, though, to check!

The waste depot on the Headford Road will take it, but you have to pay by weight.

Have you a fireplace, or better still a stove? This is a bit messy but fun:p and the end result is oddly arty and they burn ok

If you bring it to the dump on the Headford Road they'll take it, and they don't charge much; I've brought recylable waste out there and there's different areas for different types of rubbush. Cost you a few bob but it's worth doing, esp if it's dry stuff..
