If you're not quite as psycho as we are at my house -- where we save
wrapping materials and use them over, and over, and over, and over
again -- what do you do with all of your holiday wrapping paper?

I've always presumed that wrapping paper is recyclable, but apparently
that's not always true (see article
http://www.mnn.com/local-reports/illinois/local-blog/wrapping-paper-and-the-recycling-bin).

Anyone know about the paper recycling policy in Croton, Cortlandt,
Yorktown areas?

Anyone have tips for alternative wrapping?

Cheers,

We switched to 'brown paper packages tied up with string' a while back. Less enviro/more Coltrane-minded at first, but it means everything is recyclable! Add stickers or a 6 year old coloring expert for fun...
