Data Storage™ Blog, a discussion of practical records management.

The paperless office made closer by opting out of the phone book.

Every year we receive about 50 copies of various "yellow pages" type phone directories at our Tulsa records center office and about 30 copies in our document scanning center. 

 

We immediately throw them in our giant paper shredder.  We don't want them cluttering the office, we use Google anyway.

I just found out there is now a national opt-out page for phone directories.  I opted out immediately.  The website is a little slow, but it's great to know we won't be receiving anymore of these phone books.  (I also found we were receiving 7 different phone book editions every year.)

 

Save a tree, save some office space, save some headache and opt-out of getting the phone book.

We are getting one step closer to creating Tulsa's paperless office.  Let us know if you opted out.
