Is the Sticky Part on Post-it Notes Recyclable?

I always wondered if the sticky part of the Post-it made it difficult to recycle. All my questions were answered at the 3M Post-it site.


"Why won't my recycler take Post-it® Notes?
Recycling depends on both available technology and prevailing economics. Historically, some recyclers assumed that Post-it® Notes were difficult to recycle because of their "sticky" adhesive. This is not true. Any mill that accepts mixed-paper recycling can accept Post-it® Notes and 3M is working with industry associations to encourage the inclusion of Post-it® Notes in all mixed-paper recycling programs."
