Evelyn the Envelope

Always interested in proper recycling etiquette, I recently emailed Seattle's expert on recycling (who also happens to be a cartoon character) about carbon copy papers. Here is our communication. Note that it only took a couple of days to hear back from 'her.'

Yes, you can call me Eve, but you cannot recycle these
items.  They belong in the garbage.
Thank you Thomas!

Yo Evelyn,

May I call you Eve?

Can the yellow carbon copy paper from receipts and phone
message records be recycled in Seattle?

Thanks!

Make sure you recycle right!
