Holiday time means excessive mailers stuffing your mailbox with ads and catalogs. Why not put a stop to all that junk?
Start by contacting any companies who’s catalog you wish to no longer receive. Other small businesses that may be sending you mail may need a personal call from you as well (we habitually get letters from a few air conditioning services). When you receive these, make the call before you toss the letter or start a pile for companies to call when you have a free moment (just don’t put it off too long or you may forget!).
When the junk mail is excessive try services like DMAchoice.org. And opt out of credit card offers by calling 1-888-5OPTOUT. That one phone number has cut our junk mail in half!
For all other junk mail that can’t be stopped (like grocery store ads – yes, I’ve tried and no, my mailman won’t help), be sure to stick them in your paper recycling bin before you curse the waste.
