Anything you might possibly need to kit out your pencil case or get creative - we have!

How to Become a Recycle Disciple

Recycling stationery isn't always easy but here are some tips for how to recycle different items:

• Reuse what you already have and make the most of your existing supplies
• Lever arch folders are slightly trickier to recycle. They need to be broken down into their basic elements of cardboard, plastic covering and metal. To do this you'll need a boxcutter to strip off the covering. For further instructions on how to recycle binders there are heaps of detailed instructions online
• Facebook marketplace and charity shops, like Vinnies, are also a great place to re-home your more miscellaneous stationery items
• For bulky items or large quantities of particular items it may be easier to take them to your local tip and recycle them there. Most tips also have an on-site place where you can donate items that are still in good working condition
