I'm willing to bet that junk mail is like cockroaches, difficult to destroy entirely. But here are a few tips I came across recently, that might save a few trees, along with your sanity.
Firstly, you can have your name removed from the mailing lists used to flood you with unsolicited credit card and insurance offers. Just by calling (888)567-8688, an automated service, will remove you from the lists of the major credit bureaus. Or you can do it online at www.optoutprescreen.com .
Next, are you one of those that always fills out the warranty card on your new purchase? Well, you don't have to and you are still covered. Mostly, they use the info you provide to create a mailing list. To be removed, write to this address:
NDL List Order Services
1621 18th St., STE 300
Denver, CO 80202
Then, and this may be the most effective of all, the Direct Marketing Assoc. believes that dropping them a line will stop up to 75% of all mailings to your house.
Drop them a postcard with your name, address and signature to:
Mail Preference Service
Direct Marketing Assoc.
P.O. Box 643
Carmel, NY 10512
Finally, I hear you cry, how can I stop realtors from calling me? Just register on line at the National Do Not Call registry.
You can't say I'm not a fair man.....
