Well, steriotypically, it's paper that gets reycled first as recyling moves into
the public consciencness, altho i can think of other things to recycle, or not 
use at all, before paper. This is like the word "discrimination",, being 
discriminatory is a good thing, acting irrationally and negatively based on 
personal and unsupportable biases is a bad thing. But anyhow, Juergen, 
what are the German words you are translating to "paper basket"?
