I live in a 12 unit building - ALL of us have cell phones and use our cell phones as our own personal, hand held, no trash directory, no tree destroying, eco-friendly method of getting the info we need. We have called two other times and asked them to return to pick up the "12 bags of trash" they left on our front porch. They did. But, again, this past week - they dumped "12 bags of trash" on our front stairs. When will this stop? I propose that phone book delivery is “garbage distribution” on a huge scale?

The MN legislature actually put forth a bill this year, HR0170, that would make phone book providers have an "opt out" website or 800 phone number. At this point, Dex is apparently on-board with this legislation, but I can't find that on their web site. Also, that "opt out" information, (even if it gets to the delivery people) means nothing to them. They are paid by the number of phone books delivered. Opting out, opts them out of cash! We need to keep this issue alive. Mike...Minnesota I’m so glad that I am finally not the only one who has an issue with this issue.

I'd love to hear from more advertisers or business owners who have been pitched YP ad space. Does the account executive actually say "we have X numbers in distribution?" Or do they say "we distribute X but the actual pared down USE is Y." Cheers from Denver... james... Thanks for the note.

Does the account executive actually say “we have X numbers in distribution?” Or do they say “we distribute X but the actual pared down USE is Y.”
