Are phone books recyclable? Well phone books are updated all the time and my house is packed with them. I feel guilty about throwing them away, so are they recyclable?
I mean we gotta think green and it%26#039;s a waste of paper.

Yes. In Jan. when the new books come out we have large bins in the grocery stores to put our old books so they can be recycled.

You can also go to www.earth911.org and type in what you want to recycle and your zip to find a local recycle center. 67% 2 Votes

• Phone books can be recycled, however it%26#039;s important to find out if your town will take them. Phone book fibers are too short to be mixed in with regular paper and need to be recycled by themselves. 0% 0 Votes
