Opt Out of Phone Books

Tired of phone books piling up on your front doorstep, especially if you don't use them anymore? Opting out is even better than recycling. 

A new website recently debuted that allows you to stop phone book deliveries with a just few clicks of a mouse .  The website, donttrashthephonebook.org, is a joint effort by Yellow Pages Association, Conservation Minnesota, and local phone book publishers Dex One, Super Media and Yellowbook.

Interesting Fact:  Telephone directories were banned from disposal in municipal solid waste (MSW) in Minnesota in 1992 (Minn. Stat. § 115A.951).

Dex Yellow Pages
February 10, 2012 - The Dex phone book publisher wants to remind Minneapolis area residents and businesses that now is the time to let them know your preference for the Dex Minneapolis Yellow Pages you want to receive this year. You can change the number of directories you are scheduled to receive or stop delivery all together at DexKnows.com/Green.

Unwanted phone books can be placed in your bin for collection.  Contact Eureka Recycling at (651) 222-SORT (7678) for more information on how to recycle phone books.
