I have always wondered about the recyclability of PostIt notes and now I have the answer straight from the manufacturer. Sometimes it pays to stop looking and go right to the source.
Are Post-it® Notes recyclable?
Post-it® Notes can be recycled by any mill that accepts mixed-paper recycling.
What about recyclers that don't accept Post-it® Notes?
3M works with industry associations to encourage the inclusion of Post-it® Notes in all mixed-paper recycling programs. If a recycling mill can remove inks from their paper waste, they can also remove the adhesive contained in Post-it® Notes. 3M has contracted with leading independent testing organizations like Specialized Testing Resources (STR) (the official testing facility for the USPS) to ensure the recyclability of Post-it® Notes. 3M also publishes white papers to this effect and presents these papers at industry conferences to educate industry audiences about the recyclability of Post-it® Notes.
