We will contact the publishers and inform them to stop delivering books. This is a free service for consumers. www.YellowPagesGoesGreen.org is working with state and local governments on ordinances concerning the delivery of unsolicited telephone books. www.YellowPagesGoesGreen.org is not against the telephone books but against the delivery of 4 to 5 pounds of paper on people’s door step 5 to 6 times per year and being told it is our responsibility to recycle something we did not ask for. If we need a book we will call. Otherwise I “opt out” from receiving it. Consumers can “opt out” of receiving telephone books at http://www.YellowPagesGoesGreen.org.

They must have hit the whole Portland neighborhood! I ended up with four, yes, four, phone book deliveries! I don't even use one. I even called them, but they were not impressed to hear my tale of a recycle bin overflowing with thick yellow unopened books....What a waste. They should know that Portland-people care about the amount of paper they waste, if nothing else! :evil: Ugh! They must have hit the whole Portland neighborhood!

I'm such an un-girly girl. The only person I don't mind talking to more than, like, three minutes to is my mother, and her I can chat with nearly an hour if I'm in the mood. Even when the hubby calls from work just to say hi, I'm kind of abrupt. I'd rather talk in person or send e-mails. Does that make me totally weird? But I do still use the phone book on occasion, especially if I'm looking up the number of someone who lives in my town. Don't know why I don't just internet it?
