The Globe has picked up an issue we discussed at the last ESNA meeting - the deluge of phonebooks we seem to be getting. Basically, they're the same as a newspaper or Chinese menu - anyone can put anything on your doorstep. If you don't want a phonebook, the best solution is to keep it our of the rain until recycle day, then put it out with your recyclables.
You may be able to call to get them to stop delivering (both companies), but since most buildings are multiple units, something will show up at your door anyway. The only success I've heard of are large buildings that get pallets of books - Verizon will come take some of those back.
But the YP (and WP) are paid products, just like a newspaper, if someone makes money by printing it, chances are you'll get it. Just remember to recycle

Apparently one city councilor has banning the phonebooks on his mind...
