The Berry Company, publisher of the Official Hawaiian Telcom Yellow Pages, is partnering with schools on the islands of Hawaii, Kauai, Lanai, Maui and Molokai to launch, “Think Yellow, Go Green,” the company’s telephone directory recycling program.
The sixth annual program kicked off Earth Day, Tuesday, and runs through the end of May.
Local schools on each island will compete to collect the most outdated telephone directories, and keep the directories out of landfills through recycling.
The schools have the opportunity to win cash prizes for their students’ participation in the program and award amounts vary based on the school’s location.
It’s “an ideal time to teach students across the neighbor islands about the importance of recycling and giving reusable materials new life,” said Ray Carulli, branch manager of Berry’s Hawaii division. “We’re grateful for the support from the local community for the past six years, and we hope to make 2014 our most successful program to date.”
