do you recycle yours? my neighbour has all my cards and recycles them and sells them for a local hospice and cancer charity - I then buy them back :-) Much better than throwing them in the bin - she does a superb job with them and they come with envelopes

Not from family and close friends as I attach sentiment to them.......daft I know but by this I have the last cards I had from my mum....

not daft Kay - I still have the last birthday card I received from my husband - bring it out on my birthday sometimes!!!

For the past few years I have taken my old cards to the local school where I work as a volunteer. The children cut them up with Pinking scissors and make book marks and gift tags and then they are sold for the charity school fund.

Some I recycle myself as cards for the following year, some that are no good for re-making go in our recycling collection bin. We can recycle all cards and wrapping paper that is not 'foiled'. Cards from us to each other I keep for sentimental purposes.

i keep the previous years so i can go through them and make sure i dont miss anybody
but soon as this years cards are wrote

i recycle the years befores :-D

Oh AnnC,,,thats lovely and do the same myself...... :-)

I'm afraid I take the easy way out, and put them in the Christmas card recycling bins at one of the local supermarkets - at least its better than binning them. When my daughter was young, we used to make gift tags out of them to use the next year.
