Hi
Judy!
My worm composting
friends told me not to include glossy colour paper in worm boxes because they
contain toxins the little guys can't break down. They can handle just
about anything else. But that's worm composting. I'd be worried about
bleach and dioxin from white paper.
Maybe someone else
knows if there are other safe ways to break down bleached and dyed
paper?
