NEW PORT RICHEY - Organizers have set a goal to collect 5 tons of outdated telephone directories during a third annual recycling drive July 12 to 19.
The R.E.S.O.R.C.E. Recycling Club is teaming with businesses and community groups to designate 11 drop-off sites for the recycling campaign, club Vice President Kimberly Brown said.
"Please hold your phone books until the phone book drive starts in July," Brown said in a news release. Otherwise, the directories might clog landfills or incinerators.
Some sites will collect the outdated phone books the entire time, from July 12 to 19. They include:
•Pampering Plumber, 10720 State Road 54, Suite 101, at Duck Slough Boulevard in Trinity
•Stop-n-Play, 10933 U.S. 19, Port Richey
•Shady Hills Community Center, 15840 Green Glen Lane, from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.
•Verizon at Gulf View Square mall, U.S. 19 in Port Richey
•CARES Elfers Senior Center, 4137 Barker St.
Other drop-off sites will collect directories on the two Saturdays of the campaign, from 9 to 11 a.m. in store parking lots:
•The Home Depot in Holiday at U.S. 19 and Flora Avenue
•The Home Depot in New Port Richey at Little and Ridge roads
•The Home Depot in Port Richey at U.S. 19 and Fox Hollow Drive
•Publix in Fairway Oaks shopping center at Hudson Avenue and Little Road
