The many thousands of employees of the printing industry and its customer and supplier companies in Minnesota, not to mention the U.S. Postal Service, would respectfully request that the term "junk mail" not be used to refer to products that are responsible for providing their employment.
The Twin Cities Metropolitan Area is one of the major printing production centers in the United States and is responsible for generating a large number of jobs not just in printing, but in advertising, photography, public relations, paper, ink, design, typesetting and even recycling industries. All major printers sell their waste paper to recyclers.

The piece that was sent out by Mayor Rybak is completely recyclable in the Minneapolis recycling program. No matter how hard I try to get the word out, many people still believe, in error, that envelopes with cellophane windows, glossy paper and colored papers are not recyclable. These are ALL RECYCLABLE in Minneapolis, and are, in fact, recycled if you put them in the brown paper bag with the rest of your junk and office mail. . . . REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
