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 four million phone books since 1993! Phone books collected through this year’s program will be recycled into various recycled paper products.
Special thanks to Brian Ciccarello and Boy Scout Troop #201 from Olmsted Falls. The troop has "adopted" the phone book recycling bin at the Mill Stream Run Reservation in Strongsville. They will assist the District with it's recycling campaign by checking on the container a couple times a week. The troop members will remove any plastic bags or other contaminants from the bin, make sure the books are stacked, and keep the area free of litter. We appreciate their efforts!
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, The Plain Dealer, and AT&T.
