Recycle coloured clipboards

Check Local Recycling Guidelines: Contact your local recycling facility or municipality to see if they accept clipboards. The clipboard’s material will often determine if it can be recycled curbside.

Separate Materials: If the clipboard has a metal clip and a plastic or cardboard back, you might need to separate these materials. Metal clips can often be recycled as scrap metal, while plastic parts can go into plastic recycling if they meet local criteria.

Drop-Off Recycling Centers: Some specialized recycling centers or large retailers may have drop-off locations for office supplies. Check with stores like Staples, Office Depot, or Best Buy.

Upcycling or Reusing: If the clipboards are still in good condition, consider donating them to schools, community centers, or non-profit organizations. Alternatively, you can repurpose them for home organization or crafts.

Specialized Programs: Look for recycling programs that accept office supplies and materials. Some companies offer mail-in recycling services for hard-to-recycle items. TerraCycle, for example, runs programs that may accept clipboards.
