Telephone Book Recycling Contest
Thinking about throwing that old phone book away? Wait! Keep Greene Beautiful and CenturyLink are sponsoring a telephone book recycling contest to provide residents an opportunity to dispose of their old phone books.
Clubs, church groups, businesses, industries and individuals have the opportunity to enter the contest. The deadline to enter is July 30.
Participants are asked to gather old phone books and take them to the Greene County Partnership at 115 Academy Street June 7 through July 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday - Friday. All participants must complete an entry form at the Partnership office before placing their old phone books in the recycling bin. Telephone books are not to be put in the recycling bins in boxes or plastic bags.
The group or individual that brings in the most phone books to be recycled will receive $150 and second place will be awarded $50.
Results will be announced on Friday, August 6, 2010.
"We are very proud to have CenturyLink once again sponsor the telephone book recycling contest. This is a great way to create awareness about recycling and gives individuals and groups the opportunity to compete for prizes," said Jennifer Reynolds, director of Keep Greene Beautiful. "We encourage everyone to get involved."
Goodwill Recycling in Russellville recycles all phone books from the contest.
