Telephone Book Recycling
February 15 - March 15, 2008
Recycling old phone books helps to save valuable natural resources. If all phone books delivered in the Midlands area last year were recycled, we'd save:
- Enough lumber to build more than 600 Habitat for Humanity houses
- Enough trees to fill a 40-acre forest
- Enough energy to light 10,237 homes for a year
- Enough gasoline to fuel nearly 200 cars for a year!
Recycled telephone books can be used to make asphalt roofing shingles, insulation, paper egg cartons, and more!
