I've tried and failed to get my house excluded from their distribution. They hire a bunch of low wage people to just toss one on the lawn/porch of every house, and don't seem to pay any attention to the houses that have asked to not get one. This irks me because, when I travel on business, having one of these sitting on my porch is a nice indication that I haven't been home all week, so please rob me. You can stop your mail, set up light timers, etc, but just try keeping the yellow pages away. Sigh,

In a just world that would be considering littering, but somehow they get away with it.

  I've wondered about filing a criminal complaint against them, if I could find out who is doing the delivery.

    The article addresses this: some cities attempted laws against YP deliveries, but they were thrown out on free speech grounds.

      That would be a novel defense of littering... Free speech should not mean you can throw 1000 pages of ads on my stoop.

Have you ever considered talking to your neighbors?

I live in a small condo building with 35 units. We have two separate yellow pages companies leave nearly a pallet full of books at our place. I'm talking like 200+ pounds of paper. Nobody in our building wants them, they go straight in our recycle bin. We have tried many times to get off of their list. I would love to know how to report them for littering or something. I hate these companies!
