The four additional councils that form the Devon Authorities Waste Reduction and Recycling Committee can also join the contracts at a later stage.
The contracts ensure that Devon’s council newspapers and magazines are recycled in the UK.
Palm Recycling business development director Mandy Kelly said that the recycling contract is necessary for reprocessing of paper materials into fresh newsprint.
