2007 California Public Resources Code Article 2. Recyclable Telephone Directories

CA Codes (prc:42557-42558)

42557.  On and after January 1, 1995, all telephone directories
distributed within the state shall be made from materials that will
allow for the maximum volume of directories to be recycled, as
determined by the board. If reasonably feasible, it is the goal of
this state that existing waste paper recyclers make an effort to
accept telephone directories for recycling.



42558.  For the purposes of implementing and enforcing this chapter,
the board shall adopt general guidelines regarding the materials
which may be used in the production of telephone directories which
can and will be recycled.  The guidelines shall be reviewed and
promptly updated, as necessary, in order to avoid delay in the
introduction of new materials or new recycling processes which will
advance efforts to recycle telephone directories.
