You’ll like the answer to this one; all of these items are fine to toss into the “Paper” recycling bin. In the recycling process, all paper, even the glossy, is converted to pulp, and all non-natural fibers such as metal will be strained out. So don’t waste your time removing staples, spiral bindings, or plastic windows!
