Kaua’i students in kindergarten through 12th grade can earn cash for their schools by participating in Verizon Hawaii’s 13th annual phone-book-recycling contest.
The contest runs from Feb. 2 through Feb. 28.
Verizon Hawaii officials will present first-, second- and third-place awards of $500, $200 and $100, respectively, to the top three schools whose students collect the most phone books for recycling.
Each winning school will also receive a $100 gift certificate courtesy of leaders of Big Save Value Centers.
“We encourage students and their families and friends to collect old directories from their neighborhoods, local businesses and condominium associations,” said Michael McKenna, Verizon manager for Kaua’i.
“By keeping outdated directories out of our landfills, students are helping the environment while raising extra funds for their schools.”
Contest information has been sent to Kaua’i school principals. Winning schools will be announced later in the spring.
The 2003-2004 Verizon SuperPages directories are being distributed on Kaua’i to more than 30,000 residents and businesses. The directory’s front cover features the work of Big Island artist Kathleen Kam.
