Cancel your Yellow Pages
I have not used the Yellow Pages for years. The internet is a much better way to find local suppliers. Online information is more up-to-date and you can find much more about a company than its address and phone number.
So, I cancelled my Yellow Pages delivery. It's easy. Just call and ask them to stop delivering it.
- United Kingdom: 0800 671 444, Mon-Fri 8.30am-5.30pm GMT.
- United States: 800 343 7390, Mon-Fri 6am-5pm PST.
The Yellow Pages is a huge waste of paper. You can visit www.yell.com for the same information or just Google it. Other free specialist directories can help you find local suppliers, for example this directory of property services.

The Yellow Pages number is still valid. It is the “Directory Recycling Helpline”:
0800 671 444
However, the phone line is only open from Monday to Friday, 8:30am -5:30pm.
They shut the line down outside these hours.

The number is invalid. I called it on January 2nd, 2009. I was already suspicious that it would not work because US telephone numbers have an xxx-xxxx format. I got a “number could not be completed as dialed” response. Please update this page (which features highly in Google results) with the correct number if possible. I am also wondering how the Yellow Pages will cancel delivery since they simply dump the Yellow pages on my doorstep and it is not directly addressed to me. I find this practice extremely offensive in these times when we have such an obligation to do better.

That’s the UK telephone number Arasmus. I’ve updated the post above to include the US toll free phone number. Please post a comment to tell people how you got on. Thanks.
