You never know until you try something. I have been shredding paper for my worm bin, but they can't keep up with it all. May try it mixed with shredded leaves in my coop/run.

Just dumped too bags of shredded paper into my chicken run composter this morning.
I don't know how much of that stuff is ever recycled.
Not in my country. We have a splendid system here for recycling paper & cardboard. There is a paper factory about 5 km from where I live. They use lots of used paper and cardboard to make new paper.I know this for a fact because I once had the opportunity to ask the person in charge of our county's program directly.
It costs more to recycle than to use the landfill and there are very few buyers for any of the materials because raw materials are cheaper to obtain and easier to process.
It's all a feel-good, smoke-and-mirrors thing.

I see many trucks loaded with used paper tiding to the plant whenever I ride alongside this factory. The factory name is Smurfit Kappa:

One von. The people who live close can smell the factory.
PS we do have other environment problems though.
