Really dumb recycling question

[serious-noir.livejournal.com]

I'm shredding years worth of old financial docs for recycling but discover that I don't have any paper bags to put the shreds in. I read on the S'ville recycling site a few weeks ago that plastic bags *aren't* supposed to go in recycling. Or at least I thought I read that.

Have I completely got it wrong? Can I put my paper shreds in a plastic trash bag and dump that in my Big Blue Bin?


(see - told you it was a dumb question... )

I believe you can put in clear bag or white (that you can see through) and put in recycling bin.

Shredded Paper - can be placed with recycling if it stored in a clear see-through plastic bag.
