How to Recycle Paper in Canada
Recycling paper in Canada depends on where you live and the type of material. This guide explains what is accepted, how to prepare it, and where to drop it off.
Can paper be recycled?
Yes, paper is recyclable in most Canadian municipalities through curbside programmes or drop-off depots.
Newspaper, office paper, cardboard, and boxboard are widely accepted. Shredded paper and waxed paper are often not accepted in curbside programs.
Preparation tips
Flatten cardboard boxes, remove food residue, and keep paper dry.
Why recycling paper matters
Diverting paper from landfills reduces environmental impact, conserves raw materials, and supports Canada's circular economy. Many provinces have extended producer responsibility programmes that make recycling convenient and often free.
