Heavy work. There were the white pages and the yellow pages, and they'd be bundled together, and we'd have 5 big boxes of them in the car, come back when we'd finished delivering them and pick up another set.

as recently as ten years ago.

It always went right into the recycler.

I finally figured out how to halt delivery. I wonder if they're even still printing it anymore...
