I've wondering for years why there are separate phone book recycling centers and phone book round-up days. Did you know that you can't recycle phone books with regular paper recycling? Neither did I!
According to one of my favorite green websites, http://www.earth911.com/ : Make sure you keep phone books separate from other paper recycling, because these books have shorter fibers and are recycled differently than the rest of your paper. You don’t want to contaminate your recycling by mixing them together.
I had no idea. For years, I've been contaminating my recycling. Now I know - and you know, too.
