newspaper is not clean!
we get our rolls from canada, on about 9 out of 10 rolls, a rat,mouse,vole or bat etc gets squashed onto the rolls as they are transported into the states.
We commonly only roll off enough squashed animal so that its harder to see there was something that died and then go ahead and use some of the paper, the side that was mucked up we will make sure an advert with alot of like colored ink will be used in that spot. That way less paper is wasted.
It saddens me because tho it is illegal,it is bad to waste paper, but the worst part to me is the total morons who put fried foods on newspaper because they think it is a clean cheap way to drain off the excess grease....but they never stop to think that maybe a squashed critter was there first.
Gota remember people, we also sneeze,cough and flick boogers on the paper as it rushes by on the presses, its our way of killing time at work lol.

Up to a point Lord Copper, surely?
I regularly pull newsprint in 2 tonne rolls, and before loading I have to sweep the floor of the trailer. And sweep it it again. And again. If there's the slightest nick in the edge the reel will rip as it feeds.

I would have though a squashed rat would do more damage.
