Don't Trash the Phone Book

Did you know a 1992 Minnesota law bans the disposal of telephone directories in trash?  Did you know 100% of telephone directories are recyclable?  Directories today are printed on paper that is either recycled or made from leftover woodchips from the lumber industry so no new trees are necessary to make directory paper.  Publishers have also turned to soy-based inks and have repaginated and redesigned their phone book layouts to minimize paper usage. 

Don't want a phone book delivered to you any more?  Minnesota has a brand new site providing the option for MN residents to opt out of receiving the phone book.  Check it out here
