recycle paper should be tied together for each item (newspapers, magazines, other paper, cardboard, paper packs) and tie them with strings.

Fold it in four and tie it together with a string.

Fold it and tie it with a string.
Remove the adhesive tape and put it out in "burnable garbage".
Also, put out aluminum coated cardboard in "burnable garbage".

Open, wash the inside, dry, and then adjust the size and tie it with a string.
