Wrapping Paper Not in the Blue Box Wrapping paper is not accepted in the Blue Box because it often contains dyes that contaminate the other acceptable papers. As well, some wrapping paper contains foil and plastic which cannot be recycled. Instead, place wrapping paper, ribbons, bows, and tape in the garbage. The best option is to wrap presents in newspaper or brown packaging paper (both go in the Blue Box or GreenCart), or use reusable gift bags. Tissue paper can go in the GreenCart (no tape). "amaged gift bags go in the garbage.
