Telephone Book Recycling Program Ends May 9


4/30/2008

Time is running out for Wake County residents to recycle their phone books. Wake County Solid Waste Management’s 2008 Telephone Book Recycling Program will end on Friday, May 9, 2008. Since Monday, February 4, 2008, 21 drop-off sites have been available for residents and businesses to recycle old phone books.

In 2007, Wake County residents recycled more than 300 tons of phone books. Wake County continues to focus on product stewardship by encouraging all telephone book companies distributing in the county to take responsibility for recycling their product. This year’s product stewardship sponsors are AT&T, The Talking Phone Book and R.H. Donnelley (the publisher of Sprint). Altogether, these companies are contributing more than $100,000 in advertising and cash to sponsor the program.
