    It's a shame you're so close to the houses as it's easier to heap the paper up and burn it then rotavate the ash into the soil. Probably wouldn't make you very popular there though :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    @wild edges it would normally go in with compost  but had a good sort out and had rather alot, we are only allowed bonfires between October and March and it wont take long for the worms to pull it down and munch their way through it.

    My neighbour passes his bags of paper shreddings  to us.  It goes on our compost bin n after the lawn is mowed.

    Printers' ink could contaminate shreddings.

    Not these days. It's made of soya.

    Apart from the Daily Mail which is made of lies.
