How to Stop Receiving Phone Books & The Yellow Pages

Don't you hate coming home after work and finding another two-pound phone book waiting for you at your door? You didn't ask for it, nor did you ask for the last three phone books you threw into the garbage. Not to mention the four Yellow Pages books you have stashed away in your broom closet that haven't been opened in two years.

If you're not using these books, why not opt out of receiving them until you need one?
