I don't think shiney paper should go on the heap because of the chemicals. Someone will give you the exact reasons I'm sure. ;D

The shiny paper simply won`t break down with the rest. My wife once wrapped up some vegetable waste in the cover of a weekend supplement and put it in the compost bin. When I dug it out 6 months later I could still read it.

shiney paper is waterproof so it won't break down because it won't get wet. Put it in the recycling and put your newspaper and non-glossy paper in the compost.
