The junk mail everyone gets is not the fault of the post office. Contact the people that send it out to you and opt out. The post office is essential for many people who get important, life saving packages, like medication. The post office is your friend.

I agree with the OP. Google is good enough for me nowadays, and I certainly don't want to kill trees for information anymore, or smell the ink.

It's fodder for the people that take the time to complain about everything. Name a community that doesn't get a phone book.

TV phone book has almost all homes listed with CELL PHONE numbers and landlines if they exist. Getting your neighbor’s cell phone number can be difficult if not impossible online. Also you’d be surprised how much info about TV and it’s procedures is listed in the phone book. I find it very handy.

I haven’t used a phone book in 8 years. I throw it right in the garbage.

Discard your Phone Book at home. Use your head and have a little respect for others. These garbage cans aren't for phone books and advertisements.

Don't spend ten seconds throwing away junk mail in the garbage cans. It might upset the hall monitors.

A lot of Veterans work for Postal Service. The USPS is among the largest employers of veterans; therefore, it wouldn’t bother me at all if “forced” to subsidized. As for the phonenook, ours is drop off, not mailed. Plus, I like reading them. There are actually helpful info in them. Thank you, -myk

My mom is 85 she still relys on her phone book. It would be nice though to be able to request to get one versus having it thrown on your driveway

The problem with the paper phone book is that it is not searchable in the modern sense. There should be an online companion edition so that we can find all listings for our hometown or street in TV, for example.

Get a life! There are more important things to worry about.

Refreshing to hear a positive remark like yours. I was curiously reading and kind of doing a mini social study of grumpy people's attitudes, when I saw your comment. Thanks.

Didn’t get a phone book and it’s none of your business where people open their mail. So much for the friendliest home town. You were this way long before any outbreak.

If you have questions about our new garbage system, you should take a tour and educate yourself on eBay happens to your recycling and what the incinerator is and how it works. Quit spreading your environmental garbage which is incorrect Thanks

I feel the same about the POA newspaper. It goes immediately into my trash bin. I sent them an email complaining about their littering, but they keep doing it anyway. They really should contact all of the residents to determine who is interested in receiving their paper.

As to the phone book, how about printing about half as many and leaving them at rec centers for people that want them. If they need to print more, they can and if thousands are left over, they know how many to print next time. Of course the prices they get for advertising would go way down.

Exactly. The whole thing should just be put online. Of course they would lose all of those advertising dollars. I think they will eventually as advertisers begin to realize that only a small percentage of our residents actually look in the phone book.
