Yellow pages: Poubelle direct
Noticed on Park Avenue today: stack of Yellow Pages moved directly off a front step into the trash (possibly recycling). Saw other copies in recycling bags in the area.
This is dishonest and wasteful. Dishonest, because Yellow Pages is probably selling ad space based on fantasy circulation figures from the number of copies printed, even though so many get pulped immediately. Wasteful, I don’t have to explain.

To unsubscribe from their unwanted delivery…hopefully this will help stem the tide of unwanted phone books…at least from the Yellow Pages company.

Also, yellow pages has an unsubscribe option too.

Maybe so, but these books are not addressed to anyone in particular. This bundle would have been left outside a small apartment building. I’m unclear how we can “unsubscribe” from something distributed en masse like this.

Check it out: even if you unsubscribe using the handy link Paul shared, it says “Your request will be valid for the next two publishing dates of your directory.”!!

Not more dishonest than a certain someone who has taken full page advertisements on the back cover for quite some time… lol
