The blue recycle bins can be found throughout the NATCO service area at traditional locations including city halls and Arvest Bank branches. The bins will remain in place through September.

Customers of Northern Arkansas Telephone Company in Marion and Boone Counties are reminded of the 12th annual phone book recycling project, now underway. "Our customers may drop off their old Ozark Regional Directories, or any directory they have, at the traditional recycling locations in the communities of our service area, including Arvest Bank branches," said Steven Sanders Jr., vice president and plant manager at NATCO. The recycling bins will be in place through September.

Sanders listed the locations as follows:

• Bull Shoals: City Hall and Arvest Bank.
• Diamond City: Community Center.
• Flippin: NATCO building lobby, Flippin City Hall, Arvest Bank.
• Lead Hill: Lead Hill Country Market and Arvest Bank.
• Mountain Home: Brooks-Jeffrey Marketing and Arvest Bank.
• Omaha: Charlie’s Restaurant and Pizza.

Customers are asked to respect the property of the participating businesses and offices and place the old phone directories only in the bins marked with the "Recycle" symbol and NATCO company logo. "These businesses and offices are doing a fine service for us, and we thank them," Sanders said.
