How to Recycle Office Paper
White and colored office paper, documents, and computer paper.
Quick answer
Yes, office and printer paper is high-grade, easily recycled fiber. Keep it dry and recycle it curbside; staples and paper clips are fine (recyclers screen them out). Shred only documents with sensitive information, since shredding lowers paper's value.
