Are Cards Recycleable?

[James Smith]

Hi I'm just wondering if I can throw cards in the recycling or if I have to throw them in the garbage. I know that they're just cardboard, but they have a lot of ink and finish on them.

This seems like it would have been asked before, but I searched and there was nothing.

Thanks for the soon to come help.

I've heard of those cards, I used a deck on Earth Day! They don't last very long and the edges are sand-papery.

Well, something most people aren't aware of is that there are these strange people who play games with cards. And when your cards are so bad you can't use them you can actually play games with them, or give it to one of these strange people who do.

No, they live in the South Pole.

That's what I do with some decks. I want to know if I can recycle the torn up and folded cards.

You can recycle playing cards. It's just like recycling a cereal box; it's got lots of ink and a bit of glue.
