The Cincinnati Reds and Cincinnati Bell Directory want fans to recycle old phone books at Great American Ball Park.
All fans that bring an old phone book to the Reds vs. Los Angeles Dodgers series Aug. 28-30 will receive a voucher good for a buy-one-get-one free ticket offer to the Reds vs. Florida Marlins game on Sept. 19.
Recycling bins will be set up on Crosley Terrance during the games.
Reds outfielder Chris Dickerson wants fans to get involved.
He’s the founder and chief executive officer of
WePlayGreen.org, and wants to spread the word about the importance of recycling and alternative energy.
“I encourage all fans to bring their old phone books to the ballpark to be recycled,” said Dickerson. “Phone books are often recycled into usable products such as home insulation, roofing shingles, paper towels, cereal boxes and new phone books!”
Fans will have the opportunity to get a free “Chris Dickerson Recycling Tips Baseball Card” at the Friday night game and a reusable grocery bag at the Saturday afternoon game.
