"From the Redmond City Council Desk of Hank Margeson..."

I opted out of three phone books today and got this report of what we saved! -- B.Y. 
Have you noticed them?  Tripped-up on them?  Avoided them?  Pack-rat'ed them?  Yes, them phone books are BACK!   Thank you Councilman Hank Margeson for telling us at last night's council meeting  how we can OPT OUT!   
Project with non-profit Catalog Choice makes unwanted mail opt-outs easier
King County residents can now make unwanted mail go away with just a few clicks on their computer.

“You have the ability to opt out of junk mail now to stop the flurry of holiday catalogs you don’t want,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine. “Recycling is great, but reducing waste at the source is even better.”  Read More >>


The King County EcoConsumer program has joined forces with non-profit Catalog Choice to provide a convenient website, kingcounty.catalogchoice.org, where residents can opt out of thousands of different catalogs, coupons, credit offers, circulars, newsletters, other junk mailings and unwanted phone books.   Sign up here:  https://kingcounty.catalogchoice.org/

In addition to making mail and phone book opt-outs easier, this partnership will allow King County to make solid estimates about the amount of paper waste being diverted from its regional landfill. Using ZIP codes, Catalog Choice will provide to the County data on the amount of mail being reduced and the number of County residents participating.
