Being Environmentally Responsible
The Yellow Pages Industry has a long history of environmental responsibility. Initiatives include source reduction, manufacturing processes and recycling.
Pinnacle signed a Statement of Commitment with the Local Search Association (LSA) to remain environmentally responsible. We also cooperate with state and local environmental laws and regulations.
Tips for Recycling Your Directory
- Check your phone book for recycling information, usually in the front or back
- If curbside recycling is offered in your community, you will likely have the ability to recycle Yellow Pages directories by putting them in your curbside bin
- If curbside recycling is not an option, visit your county’s solid waste department’s website for recycling information
Telephone Companies Collaboration Ideas
- Promote recycling in their newsletter, website, social media, bill stuffers, radio ads, etc.
- Placing a recycle logo and date on their directory cover and in the information pages example “Recycle March 2014” (1 year from publication date)
- Including recycling fillers in their directory
- Have a recycling point available in their office
- Provide recycling collection and delivery to recycler
- When a new directory is distributed, encouraging local schools, churches, non-profits to hold recycling drives & are donating money to them for each directory they collect and recycle
- Providing a list of local drop-off locations
- Promoting curb-side recycling
Some states have laws against throwing away directories in landfills… Are you one of them?
