Phone books are fully recyclable. All curbside recycling programs accept phone books as mixed waste paper. In communities without curbside recycling pick up, local recycling depots will accept them along with other mixed paper products. If the phone book is wrapped in any plastic, please remove this packaging before recycling the phone book.

Call the RCBC Recycling Hotline for more information on recycling phone books in your community.
