Save paper: opt-out of Phone Book delivery
Did you know that you can stop getting phone books delivered? If you’re like me, you use Google for most everything you’re looking for, and it seems strange to keep getting new phone books every couple of months, only to sit in a dark closet until the next set come along. Recycling them is good, but not getting them is even better.
If you don’t use phone books, you can contact the companies and opt-out of having them delivered.
Simply call the numbers and tell them you want to opt-out of delivery.

The major players use a tactic called “saturation distribution” that means that you may get books even if you don’t have a land line.
