Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Phone books are a real issue with me. I can't stand getting them, there's no place to recycle them and I haven't had luck getting people to stop delivering them to me. I'm going to try this suggestion.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I was about to suggest going to http://earth911.com/ to make sure there was no place you can take your phone books to be recycled but I see the website did suggest it. We are able to take ours to Supulpa, OK where we take all of our trash to be recycled (we recycle 100% of our trash). Unfortunatly, we do still need our phone books since signing online (we still have to use dial-up) just to get a phone number then signing off to use our phone takes way too long. Until inexpensive technology gets out to these parts of the woods we will have to continue doing it the old fashioned way. Continue letting our fingers do the walking.
