Hey Kerry :-)

Gotta tell ya that right now ECO is NOT accepting phone books.
Sorry....

Your advice about calling them is probably the best thing to do
to find out if/when they do accept them.  They also do not
do anything with the glossy inserts from newspapers.  The number
I have for them is:

			ECO 314-8345

if you want to volunteer:
			Greg 314-4093
