The message
from "Sheila" contains these words:

How do I know which paper is bleached/unbleached? I have been putting
paper in my compost heap, but just read you shouldn't put bleached
in......oh no, how do I find out!


Dunno who told you that - AFAIK bleached paper works just as well as
unbleached.



Its in the book "Compost" by Claire Foster. On page 40. she says..."Cereal
packets and loo rolls can be used as well as tissues and unbleached paper.
Don't add bleached paper as it contains chlorine, which can be harmful to
the living organisms in the heap"
