Every year, companies that offer phone and communication services would also provide their clients and consumers these thick wads of paper which we call as phone books or directories. And these books may come in handy during the whole year but come the new one, you would have to throw out the old one for there is yet an updated version available for you without having to add additional charges.
So what do you do with the old phone book?
It looks like The Real Yellow Pages of ATT as well as The Talking Phone Book would be working together so as take on this special project of helping out consumers properly dispose of their old and obsolete phone books. If you have some of those lying around, you can share them with the recycling program of these groups. It had started last February 15th and would be ending on 15th this March.

Hi,
I live and work in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Every time a new phone book is released and delivered to the customer I see countless old phone books that ought to be recycled but aren’t. Last year I believe I counted no less than 44 brand new phone books that no one cared about. Lying on or near the mail box or door. Rotting and wet, because the homeowner just didn’t want the stupid thing. The phone companies have to be responsible for this huge mess they are creating.
