Phone Book Recycling

 

17th annual
PHONE BOOK RECYCLING CAMPAIGN
June 1 - September 30, 2009

 

Unanswered question? Ask the staff.

From June 1 - September 30, old phone books can be recycled at the following Cleveland Metroparks locations seven days per week during regular park hours. 

PHONE BOOKS ONLY should be placed in the District’s green collection containers located in the parking lots.  Please stack the books in the back of the bin.  Plastic will contaminate the load!!  Do not place plastic bags in the recycling bins – use the trash receptacle for bags and other rubbish.

Some cities collect phone books in their curbside recycling programs.  These residents can recycle their phone books with other mixed paper products including newspaper, cardboard, boxboard, junk mail, and magazines.  Check with your local city service department for more information.

This campaign has become the largest phone book recycling program in the state, recycling over five million phone books since 1993!  Phone books collected through this year’s program will be recycled into various recycled paper products.


Are you interested in volunteering to keep a phone book recycling bin neat and clean (“adopting” a bin)?  Contact the Solid Waste District at (216) 443-3749 or info@cuyahogaswd.org
Scout groups, civic organizations, and individuals welcome!

This campaign is sponsored by the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District in cooperation with Cleveland Metroparks and AT&T.

During the campaign, 516.49 tons of phone books were collected.
