The unwrapping frenzy has passed. The party is over. And now you’re holding a trash bag, wondering what goes in the landfill and what can get a second life. Here’s a quick cheat sheet.
Recycle:
- Wrapping paper
- Tissue paper
- Gift bags
- Cards + gift tags
- Cookie tins
Holiday lights can also be recycled — but don’t put them in the bin. Drop them off at any City of Knoxville Recycling Drop-Off Center, County Convenience Center, or Goodwill.
And it’s never too early to plan for the treecycling program.
Don’t recycle:
- Ribbons + bows
- Plastic bags
- Styrofoam
- Anything with glitter
Don’t forget to donate
Bikes, blankets, books, clothes... there’s a place for all of it.
