Harrison County collecting old phone books | Environment

For the past sixteen years the Harrison County Beautification Commission has partnered with schools across the Coast to "throw the book" at landfill waste. Through our telephone directory recycling efforts we have literally collected hundreds of thousands of old phone books and in the process taught students a valuable lesson about recycling.

Please send your old phonebooks to school with your students and help them win cash for their class! Next scheduled event will be in December of 2012. Partners for this program includes Harrison County Beautification Commission, Harrison County Utility Authority, City of Biloxi, City of Gulfport, AT&T, and Advanced Disposal.

Collection Dates are: 11/26/2012 through 12/7/2012
