How can I stop receiving telephone books/yellow pages?

Posted in:

I feel like I receive a new telephone book on my doorstep everysix months. I don't have a land line and I call information or use the internet if I need to find a number. How can I make it stop? I feel guilty taking the new book directly from my doorstep to the phone book recycling bin at the Metroparks.

You can go to the Opt Out page of the Yellowpages website, or follow this link, http://www.yellowpagesgoesgreen.org/opt-out.php?page=cat&state=pages&city=stop-yellow

Just provide your zipcode and it will provide you with the local company/s responsible for shipping/delivering your phonebooks.  For my zipcode, 44118, two came up, AT&T Advertising Solutions and Yellow Book USA.  Now just click each link separately, complete the form for each to Opt Out and hopefully you should stop receiving them.

I agree I feel at this day and age phonebooks should really only be delivered upon request, I can't tell you the last time I even picked one up aside from off my step to recycle it.  I hate walking into large buidings and apartments/condos and seeing the entire pallets of completely untouched phonebooks, just waiting for people to pick them up, which will unfortunately never happen. 

  Good Luck!
