As you receive your new phone books, please refrain from placing them at the postal facilities. Please keep our community clean by placing your old (as well as new) phone books out for collection on your regular home collection day.

Excessive trash. Why not send a post card, so people could order the book if they really want it? I already threw mine out.

Cannot remember the last time I opened a phone book for anything.

Headed the way of the buggy whip.

Yes it should have a way to either opt in or out.

The yellow page revenue stream must be such that nobody cares if they are used or not.

I know businesses that had a dedicated, yellow page phone number.....that never rang!

Do you remember getting the annual Sears Christmas catalog? Then they scaled back and had you send a card back in if you wanted one. Now, it looks like Sears will be filing bankruptcy. So sad.

Where was I going with this?

Oh yeah.

Retiredguy ‘s idea has merit.

mine got wet as it was not delivered in a plastic bag, went into the recycling bin.

[SFSkol]

Still use mine in the outhouse.

I can't wait to see how many idiots dump theirs at our Postal Station.

Was the postal station the place to bring old telephone books at one time? I would never consider bringing an old phone book there. Color me confused about this.

Phone books are to be recycled so I don't understand why anyone would bring them to the postal station.

New one to magazine rack where it gathers dust.

Old one to the recycle bin.

I don't think I used last years phone book once!

They usually stick it on top of the recycling trash can at the postal station. I saw one there yesterday and someone else picked it up to take home. Probably someone who just moved here.

Just a note, those are trash cans at the postal station, not recycling bins. There were some previous articles specifically requesting people to take flyers, etc home and recycle there not at the postal stations.

Speaking of buggy whips, I am amazed that The Daily Sun does not have a full digital version. The advertisers would love it, and I would definitely subscribe even if the price was higher. Paper newspapers are on the way out.

Good to know. There must be a hundred or so phone books piled up at the Lynnhaven Postal Station. And I know they collect the trash every day there. These have been there a while.
