Every few months — just like this last week — we discover a new phone book or two on our front porch. “Ballard just received new Verizon phone books, which for me went right into the recycle bin,” wrote My Ballard reader Steve, who said he canceled delivery of Verizon as well as Ballard’s other phone books. “Thought you’d like a list of the phone numbers that worked for me in case others would like to do the same & save a tree!” Steve gave us these numbers: Verizon Phonebooks 800-888-8448, YellowBook 866-929-3556 and DEX 800-422-8793. He says there’s no “cancel delivery” option when you call, but get to a real person and they’ll take you off the list. “In every case it was a fairly fast process,” he said.
