If you are like me, most of your information searches end up on google vs thumbing through huge phonebooks.  If you would like to remove your address from this unwanted nuisance,  Verizon, Dex Media  and Yellow Book have set up an opt out service.

Dialing 1-877-243-8339 will opt-out of receiving DEX phone books. Also, calling 1-800-929-3556 to opt-out of receiving Yellow Book directories. If you want to opt-out of the Verizon phone book, you can call 800-555-4833.

I feel better already, knowing this will contribute to less waste.
