A lot have envelopes with plastic windows, so I put that part in the garbage, the parts that are just paper I put in the recycling.

Though it doesn't hurt to remove the plastic piece, most paper recycling facilities don't have a problem recycling these. During the pulping process, the pieces that don't belong like staples, paperclips and these plastic windows are filtered out.
