ARTICLE 2. Recyclable Telephone Directories [42557. - 42558.]

Cal. Public Resources Code - PRC 2.
in effect

Cal. Public Resources Code - PRC § 42557. Section 42557.

On and after January 1, 1995, all telephone directories distributed within the state shall be made from materials that will allow for the maximum volume of directories to be recycled, as determined by the board. If reasonably feasible, it is the goal of this state that existing waste paper recyclers make an effort to accept telephone directories for recycling.

Cal. Public Resources Code - PRC § 42558. Section 42558.

For the purposes of implementing and enforcing this chapter, the board shall adopt general guidelines regarding the materials which may be used in the production of telephone directories which can and will be recycled. The guidelines shall be reviewed and promptly updated, as necessary, in order to avoid delay in the introduction of new materials or new recycling processes which will advance efforts to recycle telephone directories.
