What to do with photo paper I'm throwing away?

Silly question - what should I do with all the trial photos I’ve printed on glossy paper and then discarded?

I’m never sure whether glossy photo paper can be thrown away with recycling stuff. I’ve got a load of pictures I’m throwing out - photos I’ve attempted and don’t like. Do I put them in the dechetterie, or the recycling?

Paper recycling bins round my way say they accept glossy magazines, so I’d personally lob unused photo paper in there.

For security, I’d shred actual photos showing people/places/property and take the bag of shredding up to the déchetterie.

Beat me to it. Lidl do shredders every so often as do the big stores and quite cheap. Not sure I would just throw away photos especially as these days they could be used for false documents etc so even tearing them up is time consuming and a chore.

Thank you both. I’ve got a shredder somewhere…
