So I am on a campaign to try to rid myself of this evil. If the junk comes with a return prepaid envelope, I write DO NOT SOLICIT on every piece of paper, put it in their prepaid envelope, and send it back to them.
Maybe, or maybe not, they will get tired of that after a while, and take me off their mailing list.
Anybody else have any suggestions or methods they use to "try" to stop this unwanted junk??
I do the same thing and it does work. I used to get credit card offers, sometimes 2 and 3 a day. I put "remove from mailing list" and returned their crap in their envelopes. Why should we have to try to dispose of all of their junk mail. Think of all of the trees they are killing.

Also, if you get catalogs or requests from insurance companies, etc., and they have a website, you can write to them and ask them to take you off of their mailing list.

I don't stuff the envelope and make it fat either. However, maybe if their junk starts to jam up the machines at the post office someone will do something about all of this crap they send us.
