Seattle starts opt-out for yellowpages

2010-10-12 00:09:45.331226+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Oh hell yes: Seattle starts opt-out registry for yellowpages.

The registry would be available online. The registry would be paid for by a 40-cent "recovery" fee to be tacked on to the distribution of every yellow pages book distributed in Seattle. Money collected from the fee would also go toward collecting unwanted books.

It's not quite hitting them with the thousand dollar fine for littering that you could go after any other asshole who threw unwanted paper on your lawn for, but it's a start.
