my answer: all of the above, #8 i will keep to myself. honestly, if you can think of any person who needs yellow pages besides your 92 yo grandmother who does not have a cell phone or computer, please leave a comment below. yellow page hoarders: i promise you google is a bazillion times faster and most likely more accurate than your yellow pages from 4 years ago. recycle those bad boys!
story time! not too long ago i recently moved into my new beautiful house [which you can read about here]. as i oohed and awed over all the kitchen storage, i opened a drawer to find 5 yellow page books taking up half the available space. 3 days later, my roommate and i witness an unmarked white van driving down our street oh-so slowly tossing books at each house. dangit if it was not ANOTHER yellow page book. we literally wanted to run behind this van and chuck the damn book back at 'em. [not to fret. we are nice people and did not want to cause a ruckus in our new neighborhood. therefore, the book went straight to the recycle bin.]
recently i found the wonderful website that will forever force the white van to pass my house. yellow page opt out is quick + easy. PLUS i learned a few interesting facts that made me a tad less bitter about the yellow pages:
- the yellow page paper does not come from freshly cut trees
- new products are made from outdated and recycled yellow page books
- yellow pages are made with non-toxic ink: dye: and adhesive
- there has been a 29% demand decline for yellow page books since 2006
