RECYCLING CONNECTS OLD PHONE BOOKS

WITH NEW LINE OF WORK

The York County Solid Waste Authority’s 15th annual Phone Book Recycling Program netted 69.4 tons of old phone books (8.4 tons more than last year’s collection).  Thanks to this recycling effort, the books have found a new calling as paper products such as envelope insulation, paper towels and scrap paper tablets.

 

This program enabled York County residents and businesses to recycle their old phone books at collection sites across the county.  The Authority's Recycle Drop-Off Center served as the primary collection site.

 

Additional collection sites included Queensgate Shopping Center , the West Manchester Mall, Saubel’s Market in Shrewsbury and the Meadowbrook Village Shopping Center .  The Authority thanks these participating businesses for the use of their parking lots as collection sites.
