Furniture delivery came with bags of shredded cardboard, in place of bubble wrap. Should be fine to compost?

   Who shipped that? I need to buy stuff from them just to get free compost material 😂

   I’ve never seen shredded cardboard used in place of bubble wrap. My only concern would be if they treated it in some way to prevent mold or something.

   I would be careful with anything used to ship furniture. I recall reading somewhere that they pump that stuff full of insecticide to prevent pests from getting into furniture during transit.

   This seems new to everyone, perhaps you should call or email the company and ask if the paper is treated with anything

   if you are worried about any additives i’d dump them in a bucket of water overnight

   then spread em out to dry a bit so its not one massive clump of material maybe?

   Personally i wouldn’t worry – maybe i’d feel otherwise if i smelt it myself
