The endless chatter of how to handle this problem will never lead to a solution it only clogs the RSS feed. Phone books are great because they have coupon section in them. They also have the government pages. Phone books are still sitting on the road side days after being tossed by the wayside. Phone books are a waste of perfectly good trees - trees that could go to better uses, such as furniture, or toilet paper or reliable reverse phone listings. I’m a college student, and at my apartment complex, most people just leave the phonebooks outside when they are delivered.
