The Hot Springs Sanitation Department kicks off this year’s telephone book
recycling drive on Friday, July 6, as the new AT&T telephone book is
delivered throughout the community. The drive will end on Friday, August

following locations:

Area
businesses are encouraged to participate in the drive by using one of the
drop-off centers. Businesses inside city limits with more than 100 phone books
can request a collection by calling Sanitation at 321-6911. Garland County
residents and businesses outside city limits can also deposit phone books at the
county transfer stations on Highway 7 North and 70 West, or one of the other
facilities listed above.
Recycled phone
books can be turned into roofing material, home insulation and recycled paper
products. Recycling the books saves trees and conserves landfill space. The
Hot Springs/Garland County Beautification Commission, Garland County
Environmental Services Department, Garland County Library and Greater Hot
Springs Chamber of Commerce are partners in the city’s recycling drive. For
more information, call 321-6911.
