About a week ago, a car drove down my street and dropped two big white bags on everyones' lawns. Opening mine up, I found that there were two exact sets of the same phonebooks (3 books in each set). Does someone at Verizon still think that people have telephones in there houses which are tied to bookshelves which each need their own set of white pages, yellow pages, and a small ambiguously purposed phone book?
I'm not even a Verizon phone customer. I use Cablevision VOIP, but for some reason I still get two sets. I ended up saving one new set and tossing one new set and last year's set in the recycle bin. Almost 25 pounds of paper. Last year's books were hardly used. This year's was not used at all.
I do realize that there is still a significant business in selling advertising space in printed yellow pages phonebooks, but the fact that you littered every house in my neighborhood with two sets is ridiculous. There are even sets of the phone books still out in people's lawns waiting to be taken away by the garbage men.
Can we somehow get an Opt Out list set up at Verizon so I can tell you that I really really don't want any more phone books delivered? Clearly terminating my Verizon service a couple years ago hasn't helped.
