Yellow Pages recycling urged

The publisher of the Sprint Yellow Pages is encouraging residents to recycle old editions as their 2005 phone directories arrive.

Residents may leave the outdated books on the curb in white recycling bins for Republic Services of Southern Nevada to pick up or take them to the Recycling Center at 333 West Gowan Road in North Las Vegas.

R.H. Donnelley publishes the phone directories, which are being delivered to valley homes through the end of the month.

For more information about recycling, call Republic Services at 735-5151.
