Posters
What Should I Do With It?
Posters commonly used for bedroom decor, educational displays, and event advertisements are highly recyclable if they are made entirely of paper, including glossy variants. Before tossing them into the bin, always remove any sticky adhesives like Blu Tack or tape. However, you should never recycle posters that have been laminated with a shiny plastic coating or mounted onto rigid backing boards, as these blended materials cannot be processed by paper mills.
Before throwing this away, see if it can be fixed up, given to a friend, or donated to a local thrift shop. Keeping items in use is the best way to stop waste before it starts!
The recycling guidelines shown here are for general reference and educational purposes. Every city and town has different rules, sorting equipment, and recycling programs.
Please check your local town website or ask your local garbage collection program to make sure you are following your neighborhood's rules.
