##  To recycle or not to recycle!?

### Not all wrapping paper is made of the same materials and not all of them can be recycled.

Make sure that you're putting the right things in your recycling bin by doing the scrunch test first.

If you scrunch your wrapping paper and it stays scrunched up in a ball then it can be recycled. If the paper bounces back and doens't stay in a ball then it's likely to be made of plastic or foil and these ematerials can't be recycled.
