Website Allows Residents to Opt Out of Receiving Directories

The internet has made many things easier, including looking up businesses and phone numbers. If you don’t feel the need to receive those big phone books on your doorstep anymore, there’s a way you can opt out.

The Local Search Association teamed up with the Association of Directory Publishers to create an opt out website. It was set up to reduce the amount of waste and costs associated with delivering unwanted directories.

The site determines which phone books you are eligible for based on your ZIP code, and allows you to choose which you do or do not want to receive.

Arlington’s Department of Environmental Services reminds anyone who still wants to receive the directories that they can be recycled in the county’s recycling bins.
