Can I recycle phone books?
Phone books are made paper that has already been recycled more than once. The fibers in the pages of phone books are too small to be used in making newsprint, and the ink is difficult to remove. For this reason, Abitibi does not accept phone books. However, phone books can be shredded for use as bedding for livestock. To have your old phone books delivered to a local farmer for this use, place them in the labeled box in the Student Center (near the mail room) or contact Marjory Tobias or the Creation Stewardship Club.
