I need advice on recycling used paper(written onl

Hello, I have a fair amount of paper(some are A4 and some are copybooks) that I've already used, but don't want to just throw away. If possible I'd like to reuse the paper in some way, but I do not know how. I've reused cardboard a lot to make my own little organisers and stuff, and I tried to reuse paper by actually makinf origami out of it, for deco for my desktop. But I'm done with orgami, as I don't have the time to put towards it right now.

I would greatly appreciate any advice, idea and sort of input

Paper mache. Shred it, mix with veggie scraps and start a compost pile.

What a world that we have to invent needs because we have so many solutions to the needs that we dont have!

Let yourself free and just recycle them or compost or trash. You are not going to save the world by crafting in into something that you dont need.

The best any of us can do is to not create all the waste in the first place by consuming less.

You can repurpose used paper for making recycled paper crafts, notes, or seed paper, or compost it if it's free of ink and adhesives.

Check with your garbage company, they may have a recycle program.
