We and the other thousands of homes in West Oxfordshire have just had the latest copy of the yellow pages delivered. Our copy of the last one is still in the plastic cover. Does anybody know if you can opt out of receiving the yellow pages.

Widening the discussion, the phone books I believe are still difficult to recycle. In this era of the tinternet, do we still need huge phone books that get delivered to every household. I can’t remember the last time I used one. I know some people will use them, which is fine. But don’t you think it would be possible for BT and Thompson and any other phone book companies to only deliver them to people who want them.
How much energy and paper is wasted on the books that just stay unopened?
Are they already made from recycled paper is that why they are so hard to dispose of, or is it just the thickness of them.
