It is time once again to pick up your new official White and Yellow Pages. Did you know that you can recycle your old phone books? It is well worth the effort! Even though they are printed on recycled paper they are still recyclable. It may take a little extra effort, but it is well worth it. The University of Rochester receives thousands of copies, each of which will go to the landfill unless you and your team take the extra steps required to recycle:
MEDICAL CENTER
Distribution of the Frontier White & Yellow Page Directories will take place Wednesday, March 10 from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. Directories will be available for pick-up in the hallway near the Fitness & Wellness Center.
Recycling bins are located at the north end of Goler House and near the Medical Center receiving docks. Encourage faculty and staff to support the University’s recycling program and Go Green initiatives by recycling their directories.
RIVER CAMPUS, EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC & OFF-SITES
Distribution of the White & Yellow Page directories will occur March 10 – March 17.
The directories will be collected by Environmental Services staff and brought to the appropriate recycling dumpster. Telephone Department Coordinators located on the River Campus, Eastman School of Music and Off-Sites are asked to stage a collection area for recycling old phone books within your department.
Also, don’t forget you can recycle your phone books at home as well!
If you have any questions regarding recycling of phone books please contact the Customer Service Center at 273-4567 or Amy Kadrie Recycling Coordinator at amy.kadrie@rochester.edu
