Bubble envelopes made of Mylar and those that are lined with paper are not recyclable curbside. Reuse is best. Consider cutting the opening to the size you need it, covering up the mailing label and reusing for future shipping needs. Offer a large quantity up to the community for packing material.

A padded envelope, also known as a padded or cushioned mailer, is an envelope incorporating protective padding to protect items during shipping. The padding is usually thick paper, bubble wrap, or foam.
