Can Christmas cards be recycled?

Question

I presume that because they are made from card, they can be recycled. But is this still true if they have plastic decorations on, for example?

Answer 1

Yes, in general, Christmas cards are made from paper products and so can be recycled. However, those that are covered in glitter or decorated in a certain way (such as using glue or plastic products) are unlikely to be recyclable. You can check your local council’s website for further information or have a look at “Greetings Cards” (Recyclenow.com, 2019).
