You can select specific types of mail you don’t want to receive or just select “stop all unsolicited promotional mail,” which is what I did. If there is more than one person in your household receiving mail in their name, you’ll both need to register.

If you only do one thing to stop junk mail from coming to your house, do this one. These aren’t guaranteed to stop all junk mail from arriving at your house, but they should help decrease it quite a bit. Below are several ways to stop junk mail. I decided to do something about it and now our junk mail volume is way down from where it used to be. What an enormous waste of paper and energy.

You’d think that in this digital age, junk mail in your home or work mailbox would be a thing of the past. Stop the madness! The Scourge of Junk Mail
