Too many phonebooks??

You do not have to continue receiving all those different phone directories... Here's how to opt out of them:

• Dex - www.dexknows.com, click on "select your Dex", enter your zipcode and click on "Proceed to select your Dex", enter your address and put a zero in the number of books to receive; or call 1-877-243-8339;
• Yellowbook - call 1-800-929-3556;
• Verizon Yellow Pages - 1-800-888-8448.

All these books can be recycled, too, so put your old phone books in your blue recycling bin with your paper and cardboard.
