Recycling old Yellow Pages directories


Yellow Pages
supports the Trust as part of the Yellow Woods Challenge - the simple, educational and fun environmental campaign for schools run in partnership with 100+ local authorities.

The Challenge aims to:

  • recycle old Yellow Pages directories

  • educate children about woodland and the environment

  • support the Trust’s ‘Tree For All’ campaign.

Schoolchildren simply recycle old Yellow Pages directories and learn about the environment with campaign mascot, Kirk. Schools that recycle the most directories per pupil win cash prizes from Yellow Pages. There are also prizes for building sculptures from recycled Yellow Pages and for demonstrating community involvement and environmental education in action.

For every pound awarded to schools, Yellow Pages gives a matching pound to the Trust. Since the Challenge launched in September 2002, more than 1.7 million schoolchildren have taken part. To date, £250,000 has been awarded to schools in prize money and £250,000 given to us. For more information, visit:

The Yellow Pages Directory Recycling Scheme works with local authorities to develop and promote opportunities for recycling old Yellow Pages directories through kerbside collections, paper and cardboard banks and schools.
