New Yorkers will no longer be greeted by the Verizon phone book on their doorsteps.
The company won approval from state regulators Thursday to stop printing and delivering business White Pages in New York, a cost-saving and environmentally conscious move as more people search online to track down phone numbers. The decision comes six years after the state’s Public Service Commission gave Verizon Communications Inc. permission to cease publication of residential White Pages, which the carrier estimates has eliminated 13,600 tons of paper waste a year.
