Eliminate Yellow Pages
 

Not sure if this has been posted yet, if so forgive me. Did a quick search and couldn't find anything related.

So a personal pet peeve is all of the junk mail i receive and advertising crap left on my door. The worst culprit are those thick useless yellow page books I get every now and then. Do people still use the book? Eh, I'm sure some do, but I sure don't want one. It goes straight to the recycling bin.

For anyone who is interested, check out the following site:

Forgot to mention that on this site you can opt-out of receiving yellow and white page directories. I guess that is kinda key. Too damn busy; no time to think. I opted out. Now, to get rid of the people that leave ads on my door every day.

I don't like to receive them too often either, they pile up. Once a year or every other year would be fine (they do come in handy occasionally)

But, what will the bunnies destroy?

I always laugh when I get calls from yellow page advertisers. I have NO desire to spend money advertising in the YP. It is a long-gone dinosaur of a former advertising age.

Please. I live in a condo complex, so there's towers of them stacked at each of 12 or so mail locations. Ugh. No one wants them. They sit there mouldering for months.

Whatever they can.

Totally agreed. I can't remember the last time I needed a paper phone book. It must be years ago. We don't even have a landline anymore, but we just got a yellow pages dropped in front of our house a few days ago. It goes straight to the recycling bin but it's such a waste.

Mouldering. I like that word.

Actually, I will say that, if only because they've been slow to adapt to the internet, I've recently found the physical yellow pages useful for finding services such as plumbers or landscapers.

Perhaps the time of their intended usefullness has passed, but consider this: you can't stand on your iPhone to reach the cookie jar.
