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!

This advice site of the RHS http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/ has the
compost heap as one of its topics for this month, but they make no
reference to bleached paper.

Your main concern is how do you tell whether or not there is chlorine or
dioxins in the bleached paper which you wish to compost. Much
information on the subject he http://tinyurl.com/b4t6t

Bear in mind that I know nothing about this subject but, now that you
have raised it, I find it interesting and I will not be composting any
bleached products until someone satisfies me that they are safe.
