O’ahu School Phonebook Recycling Contest

Posted On: Feb 01, 12


Did you know that telephone books are NOT curbside recyclable and many end up in the rubbish and our landfills here in Hawaii? Our friends at Hagadone Printing have come up with a solution by hosting its first-ever telephone-book recycling contest for O’ahu schools. Open to any school on O’ahu, the contest will feature first place prize of $2,500 for the school that donates the most phone books. Second place will collect $1,000. Everyone is a winner in this contest because we’re eliminating waste from local landfills!
Participating schools collect phone books at their school and drop off to Hagadone, located at 274 Pu’uhale Road, Honolulu, HI, 96819.
Drop-offs will be accepted on the following days:

  • Saturday, February 11, from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
  • Saturday, February 25, from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
  • Wednesday, February 29, from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm


Schools must register online for the contest. For more information about the contest please contact Ed Kobayashi or call (808) 852-6334.
One alternative to prevent further waste is by Opting Out of future deliveries. Here is a list of telephone directory and catalog opt-out direct links:
