Recycling children's paintings

We've moved house and I'm finally unpacking the boxes.

What do I do with the 15 years' worth of paintings that have been accumulated? These are the ones which they did at school, you know the ones.

Can I put paintings in the blue recycling bin? I'm not sure as even though it's water-based paint, it's still paint. I've tried googling, but no success.

Thanks!

You can't recycle glitter. I know that. I think paint is ok. There's dye in most printed material.
