Phone Book drop off on my porch.

I wish they would not leave phone books on my porch....I just throw them in the recycling....I do not want them. Waste of paper... one just came today.😔

 

 

No way of alerting them to the fact you do not want them.

My gosh, I haven't received a phone book in decades! And I live in a city of 1+ million.

I agree @SeaMaiden.  Make them available but let people ask for them.

 

We get 2 of them thrown at the end of the driveway twice a year and they don't even make it into the house, they go right into the recycling bin.

Yeah, this kind of waste bothers me, too. 

 

Do people even use phone books these days?    I'm nowhere near the top of the 'using all the electronics out there' tier, but I haven't used a phone book for probably 15 years.

FYI: Go online and Google stop phone books. There is a sight where you can opt of directories.
