Corrugated cardboard and kraft paper are curbside-recyclable almost everywhere. Poly films (bubble wrap, mailers, stretch film) recycle only at store drop-offs. Hot-melt tape contaminates paper recycling — peel before recycling boxes.

Frequently asked

Is kraft tape actually curbside recyclable?

Water-activated kraft tape — yes. It dissolves into the paper stream. Standard hot-melt and acrylic tapes contaminate paper recycling.

Can I recycle a poly mailer with the shipping label still attached?

Yes for drop-off recycling — the adhesive label is accepted along with the poly film at participating retailer bins.

Are compostable mailers actually better?

Only if you have access to commercial composting. Home compost usually doesn't reach the temperatures required to break down "compostable" mailers in a reasonable timeframe.
