Taken just up the street from my apartment. Thought it summed up the usefulness of dead-tree yellow pages.

Laughing a lot - had to cringe the other day hearing a lecturer describe the www as a big yellow pages - made me want to cry - seeing this confirms the validity of my tears!
I use them as a footrest at work - except last week they disappeared. (I think the cleaner threw them away) I’m now on the look out for more Yellow Pages!
Yep!
It’s such a waste of paper, they don’t even ask you if you want them, just leave them on your doorstep!! Argh!
They are very useful for stacking under computer screens to get them to the right ergonomic height.
Too right @Gary - I’ve been using them for monitor stands since at least 1997 …
They still make the yellowpages.com.au in paper form? How very low tech. :op
I work for Sensis and we know people are concerned about the environment and waste - we are concerned too. That’s why Yellow™ (Local, Metropolitan and Regional) and White Pages® directories are made from paper that contains up to 85% recycled and waste products (40% recycled waste paper and up to 45% timber mill wastes).
Last year, nationally 72 per cent of Australians recycled their directories. A further 23 per cent were re-used for other things such as mulch for the garden. Directories should be recycled in your kerbside council recycling bin. If you don’t have one you can check out recycling options at recyclingnearyou.com.au
You can contact Sensis to discuss your directory needs by calling 1800 810 211.
We know that millions of Australians use the directory online now (and even on mobile phones) but the print directories are still used by more than 7 million Australians on average a month.
