recycling backing paper

[gabagoo]

As I trudged out this morning with my recycling boxes I see a Tropican Juice box and a milk container and I think....wait a minute. These are cardboard with wax or whatever and they are recyclable, so why not backing paper?

my understanding (and i do not know this to be fact so it is definitely worth checking into) is that the backing paper is not wax coated, but rather sylicone.

because it has been a bit slow and I have the time to tinker around. I decided as the backing paper and cores were taking up so much space in the garbage container that I would start my own swill bucket!!! I half filled a plastic garbage recepticle with water and I dumped a pile of backing paper and small cores, pre mask etc... I stir it with an off cut of signface frame.

Makes a great soup!!!!

In any case I cant believe over the last week how much stuff I have put into the garbage can and it just keeps taking more. I figure its like a mimi compactor. When I dump the 200 pounds of soaked paper it will take up very little space in the garbage.

It sits near the back rollup door, and on that door I have one of those nerf basketball nets and we use some strange foam ball (dollar store). Me and the graphic artist here play 21 at least 5 or 6 times during the day and we keep modifying the rules. If the ball rebounds into the swill bucket -3 points lol.

I definately have to much spare time on my hands.
