I'm not sure I'd burn it, but it can certainly be composted (or used for
mulch). The US banned heavy metals in inks years ago, and I've read
from numerous sources that colored inks actually benefit the soil. Worm
composting however, should not (I've read) contain colored inks.

It's a confusing world for sure. Inks probably vary a lot and I have
no idea if our inks are different from the US's I've never found
paper mulch pretty to look at. The birds soon have it in tatters,
then the wind takes over...
I'm not sure one can even recycle the highly glossy stuff - too
unlike paper. Doesn't even burn that well either but in winter
sometimes a source of heat is needed :-)
