If they are used, they go to a landfillI've run paper recycling plants for 25 yearsIn that time, we received lots of paper clips, staples, pop cans, and assorted other metal objectsmingled in the bales of waste paperIt is virtually impossible to remove these items before recyclingWe install large and sturdy equipment to remove these items after the paper is slushed up into wet pulpThese items are collected into large bins and sent to the landfillThere is so much contamination mingled in (loose fibers, plastic book covers, aluminum cans,book bindings, coins, etc) that isolating ferris materials is not possible.
