The Yellow Pages Directory Recycling Scheme
Waste Watch is pleased to acknowledge the financial support given by the Yellow Pages Directory Recycling Scheme in order to develop this site. The scheme works with local authorities and environmental organisations to help develop and promote opportunities for the recycling of Yellow Pages directories.
Further information about Yell - the publisher of the Yellow Pages directories - and the Yellow Pages Directory Recycling Scheme can be obtained from www.yellgroup.com.
The Yellow Woods Challenge is a schools' environmental campaign run by Yellow Pages and the Woodland Trust working with local authorities. Schoolchildren simply collect old Yellow Pages directories for recycling and every participating school is given environmental education materials and has the chance of winning cash prizes. Further information can be obtained from www.yellow-woods.co.uk.
WRAP & Recycle Now
Recycler the rapping robot is part of the national Recycle
Now awareness campaign and is brought to you by the Waste & Resources

The Recycle Now campaign was launched by Matthew Pinsent

to encourage more people to recycle more stuff, more often. More information
