Glossy paper is OK. Laminated or Mounted Posters Are Not Recyclable A poster can’t be recycled if it has been laminated or mounted. Laminated posters have a shiny, plastic coating on both sides. Mounted posters are on a board to provide them with rigid support. Toss these in the garbage. Only plain paper posters are recyclable. Remove Blu Tack & Other Adhesives Before recycling a poster, be sure to remove Blu Tack or any other adhesives first. Ways to Reduce Use Old Posters as Wrapping Paper Consider using old posters as wrapping paper instead of traditional gift wrap to help your household cut down on paper waste.
