Reduce your junk mail

You too can reduce the amount of junk mailed to you!

Most of us receive too much junk mail though the post office.

Save the Environment! - Reduce junk mail!


There is something you can do about it.

Most mail advertisers belong to the Direct Marketing Association which has a list of addresses that should not receive un-solicited mailings. You can visit their web site to opt out of receiving most Junk mail from their members: www.dmachoice.org/

Some other larger groups of advertising companies also maintain their own lists of people who do not want to receive junk mail. Letting these groups know that you do not want to receive their mailings is a very effecitve method of reducing your physical in-box clutter.

Many of us get weekly flyers from advertisers, this is a common one: https://www.redplum.com/tools/redplum-postal-addremove.html.

Epsilon respects the preferences on www.dmachoice.org/ and has a consumer guide to help explain how they work.

Another one is Penny Saver, here is the info for California and South Florida. Check the cover or seperate card that comes with the mailing if you are in a different area: Call (800) 422-4116 or Mail Requests to be Removed from their Mailing List To:
Circulation
C/O Pennysaver
2830 Orbiter Street
Brea, CA 92821

Even newspapers get in on the action:
