How to Opt Out of Yellow Page Phonebooks

January 14th, 2009 · 3 Comments

 Update from EH:  Check out this website for opting out of Yellow Page book deliveries.

Great information was posted on myBallard.com regarding Yellow Pages phone books. 

Every few months — just like this last week — we discover a new phone book or two on our front porch. “Ballard just received new Verizon phone books, which for me went right into the recycle bin,” wrote My Ballard reader Steve, who said he canceled delivery of Verizon as well as Ballard’s other phone books. “Thought you’d like a list of the phone numbers that worked for me in case others would like to do the same & save a tree!” Steve gave us these numbers: Verizon Phonebooks 800-888-8448, YellowBook 866-929-3556 and DEX 800-422-8793. He says there’s no “cancel delivery” option when you call, but get to a real person and they’ll take you off the list. “In every case it was a fairly fast process,” he said.

If you read the many comments posted to this article, you will see that readers appreciated getting this information.  Thought you would, too.

    I do appreciate it. In the age of the Internet I never use phone books

    Last week I walked outside and saw a new phone book on my porch, and saw the Verizon truck driving by. I chased it down just in time and handed it back to the driver.
