What To Do With Return to A-Z Guide

Telephone books

Phonebooks are not accepted in curbside recycling carts or at the Drop-Off Station or Recovery Yard due to their thickness. Just like books, the covers and bookbinding are too thick to make it through MRF sorting and bailing machines. They can jam up the machinery, causing damage and delays and creating unsafe conditions for our workers. Loose pages can be recycled, but only if they are torn from the binding and cover.
