JUMK MAIL!!!

[Hunar]

Fed up with junk mail? sick of all the take away leaflets on the mat when you get home?

Don't throw it away or stick it in the recycling, keep it, sooner or later you will get some junk mail with a pre-pay envelope, fill that envelope with all the junk mail you can, and send it back to them!

A little note along the lines of...

Stop sending my your junk, and I will stop sending you mine!

can sometimes be a nice addition.

I always do this. Makes me smile ever time. Simple pleasures!

Tape it to some old tyres, send them

Excellent Idea mate!

Alternatively it would be more "green" to stop it arriving in the first place.
In order to do this

1) Sign up to MPS (mailing preferences service).
2) Opt out of Royal Mail "door-to-door".
3) Don't give out your details freely e.g. competitions.
4) Tick (or untick) the relevant privacy boxes when signing up to something on-line.
5) For the stragglers email them and ask them to unsubscribe you. Most companies will oblige.
6) Put false contact details in for insurance comparison sites etc. (false email and phone number)

I find I have very little junk mail.

That works for the addressed letters, but not the leaflets that are delivered seperately by hand to every house in that area. Save those and then send them back to the stragglers with a request to be removed

You can do this online.

You can register by email, but you also need to send back a form to a freepost address.

One of my friends when he was at Uni has a sign on his door saying "If you put any take-away menu's through my door I WILL NEVER EAT AT YOUR PLACE!" as they used to get tonnes. Worked a treat!
