No one likes junk mail, so why not get rid of it? It’s irritating to consumers and it’s incredibly wasteful, so put your foot down.
Write the Direct Marketing Association and register with their Mail Preference Service, which puts you on a list to not be contacted by solicitors. It’s a free service that last for five years, but only for national mail. All you need to do is write a letter or postcard with the date, your name, address, and signature, and write, “Please register my name with the Mail Preference Service.” Send to: Mail Preference Service c/o Direct Marketing Association, P.O. Box 643, Carmel, NY 10512. You can also register online at www.the-dma.org/consumers/offmailinglist.html, but it cost $5.
