YAROSLAVSKY REMINDS RESIDENTS TO RECYCLE TELEPHONE BOOKS

Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky is reminding residents of the Beverly Hills, Culver City and Santa Monica areas to recycle, rather than discard, their old telephone books as new directories are landing on their doorsteps. From now through April 30, Pacific Bell phone customers will be able to participate in the Telephone Book Recycling Program through their curbside recycling program.

"It’s a great thing when an action as simple and easy as recycling a phone book can do so much to reduce the waste going into our landfills and to conserve our natural resources," Yaroslavsky said, noting that the paper from the recycled books will be used to make new books and billing envelopes.

Curbside pickup of the old phone books will be available to residents in many areas with existing curbside recycling programs in the County unincorporated areas.

For residents who lack curbside recycling opportunities, drop off locations will be located throughout Culver City. For more information, Yaroslavsky urged residents to call the County Department of Public Works toll-free hotline at (888) CLEAN-LA, Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. or the Pacific Bell 24-hour hotline at (800) 953-4400.

The program is coordinated by the Department of Public Works and Pacific Bell, in cooperation with Culver City.
