In this episode, we take a closer look at paper train tickets and whether they can actually be recycled. The answer might surprise you (it definitely surprised us). We break down whether they can be processed like standard cardboard or whether there is contamination that can impact their recyclability. This episode uncovers what really happens when you toss a train ticket in the recycling bin, and whether that’s the right choice.

This episode of Recycled Content, is the 'Rubbish or Not' from episode 24 of Talking Rubbish, which first aired on 9th January 2025.

While every effort has been made to provide the most accurate information, recycling guidance changes quickly and some advice may become outdated over time. Always check with your local council for the rules that apply to recycling in your area. On the main Talking Rubbish podcast, we include an additions and corrections section where we update anything we may have got wrong.
