Can i recycle butcher paper

Food service providers often use butcher paper that has been coated with a fine layer of wax or oil to make the paper more resistant to leaks when wrapping moist foods.

Waxed or oiled butcher paper cannot be recycled, but it can be composted. Shred or tear the paper into smaller bits for faster composting.
