The new phone books are here! Residents and
businesses can go green by recycling old phone books in
specially marked collection bins. Convenient drop off
bins will be available November 1-30, 2011. This is a
free service.
Bin locations:
Downtown - on 11th Street between J &
K streets
Modesto Police Department lobby - 600 10th Street
McHenry Village – in rear parking lot, near Briggsmore
Avenue
Modesto residents can also place old phone books in
their green "organic" waste can.
Recycling telephone books into new ones helps save
precious resources. For each 500 phone books recycled,
7,000 gallons of water; 3.3 cubic yards of landfill
space; 17 to 31 trees; and 4,100 kilowatts of
electricity are saved. That's enough electricity power
an average home for 6 months!
