You asked - Can I recycle or compost my paper name tag?

Thank you, Geri, for asking.

Put your paper name tag
in the Landfill bin.
Recycle?  NO.
Paper with adhesive backing is of lower quality than that which is acceptable for recycling.   City of Raleigh list of recyclables

Compost?  NO.
FoodFWD, our composting company, says the sticky stuff does not break down into compost.

Landfill?  YES.
Paper name tags go in the Landfill.
